WTF!
Seriously WTF are these guys?

Just been on scuzz with "jonny sniper"

Starts off like an 80s electro pop song, then he starts with all the metal scremo type singing, all wearing addidas :confused:

Some very confused guys
 
a lot of people seem to class them in the same group as the klaxons with the whole new rave thing but i dont really see it, although i do enjoy the album :)
 
I quite like them, never really thought of them as the same kind of thing as the klaxons but never listened to them a great deal tbh.

It's very much music for the 'sceney' emo masses i guess : :)
 
its good that they havent just copied other people

apparently they started out as a screamo sort of band but theyre fans of electro and trance so tried to implement it

dunno tbh , they have picked a top 5 songs in this months mixmag and its cheesyier than extreme cheddar , will post it up if i can find it in the mag
 
Thought I'd hate them, but I really like them.

I saw them at download, and ended up beating the hell out of 2 screamo kids that were being tossers and windmilling their arms about.

I'm loving the kinda 'rave' bit thats going on in their tracks, and I particularly like 'Anything can happen in the next half hour'

Give em a chance, they grow on you :)
 
God awful, and I mean awful band. "Hey, look at us, we're different because amongst the screaming and horrific drop tuned guitar there's the slightest hint of supersaw synth there!" About as trancey and credible as DJ Sammy.
 
It's the complete lack of musicianship that bugs me... the guitarist is utterly atrocious - if you have that rockworld/redemption channel they are sometimes live on there and they are terrible lol...

The guitarist sucks and (being a guitarist myself) that is what annoys me... along with the terrible vocals and synths too. Just all round no talent bandwagon jumpers selling out for easy money...

Be gond foul beasts....

How can a band who've had one EP and, have just released their first album and haven't changed their sound be called "sell outs"?
