Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Tried so hard not to like these bearded hipsters but the rock is too much even for my fucking powerful soul to resist. Best album i've bought in ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 i don't dig bands with beards, or hipster mentality. they seemed like a gimmicky band for people that jerk off to bloc party and stuff. i pay my taxes i'll have you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Firefly Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Absolute, total bollocks. They are a rancid pile of festering shite. Their music lacks any talent or imagination. The whole 'twosome' approach to music has been done to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lizard King Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 i dont understand people who try not to like a band. You should judge a band on the the music that they write and not the length of their beard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camie Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 So is the album good? I had a look on their myspace songs a while back and they were really good but I haven't had time to get out and get the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NARC Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 The album is great, I'm loving it. Favourite songs would have to be "Romantic Rights", "Go Home, Get Down" and "Little Girl". They sounded very poor at T in the Park, but there certainly was enough potential there.Oh, and as for the "for people who jerk off to Bloc Party" comment, stop speaking out your arse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Firefly Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 The problem with these 'two piece' 'bands' is that they lack any depth to their sound. Its like do they want to be a solo act with a mate tagging along or have they pissed off enough former bandmates to just be left with the two of them. Regardless i think they sound like hackneyed tripe. And they're aweful live too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 i thought they were really cool at t in the park, even tho the sound wasnt that great, as for the album, it took me a couple of listens to get into it but i really like it now, people should buy the album just for its title, quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesxman Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 I missed most of their TITP set because of the fuckwit entry system from the campsite on the Saturday so hope they do play Moshulu. Albums cracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieron_ruinous Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 or have they pissed off enough former bandmates to just be left with the two of them.i heard apparently at one point they were a seven peice.i would love to see them live also. i think the album is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skamikazee Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Awesome band, their album is my favourite at the moment.It was a pity that the sound was horrific at TITP, seeing them in Moshulu would be crazy good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Temple Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 He has a point though' date=' they only have one song with little variations on it, and only about three of them are good.[/quote']3 good songs is more than enough to justify any bands existence. I like the idea behind them - which is usually enough for me - but, crikey, they're a chore to listen to, aren't they?
