Three of their videos hav just played in a row on MTV2.
Both the visuals and the music have just blended into one offensive mix.
I find them really biting and harsh. The videos are hard to watch. And the music is just reeeeeeally fast with a weak voiced cockney.
And it sounds like so many other people.
I could not disagree with you more
I wasn't offended at all.. yeh! their vids may not be to everyones tastes although i think the track and video "First Love" is brilliant. They have good potential and i look forward to there LP.
Nailed on to make it in
2007.
and ?
Is it a good sign ?
i agree...
the way people are bigging up something so unexciting is offending me too. It's pop music completely lacking in melody and their singer's voice does my head in. I hope they do get big so people won't moan at me for disliking them.
yeah
I agree totally with TimmyL and wrightylew and, oh god, arent they from brighton too? i really hope not, its so embarrasing being from the same place as the kooks and all the other little wimpy, ooh we're so wacky, kookey, look at us jumping around in our gay litle waistcoats type people
originally from South London
moved too Brighton a couple of years ago to go to Uni.
Nah
Then everyone will say 'You'd like them if you were underground'.
i like em. i think theyre a cut above most uk indie guitar bands at the moment.
im looking forward to their album.
..
i was working at the studios when they were recording, and i have to say they were the nicest of the lot at olymipic. gentlemen!
"I hope they do get big so people won't moan at me for disliking them."
paraphrased: "lol! if they get big then my elitist views will fit right in!!11"
Erm
I think they're pretty good yeah. I think a more worrying sign is the people who plainly haven't heard much of their material in this thread, comparing them to the kooks!!!!!!!!
nothing like the Kooks indeed !
But not good either for me...
you're so funny wrightylew
you accuse anyone who isn't a fookin' northerner of being a cockney.
they're from Brighton.
no they are from South London
originally, now based in Brighton.
i thought
a certain area of east london was cockney and stuff. oh wells.
lol.
They're actually from London, you mongloid.
Saw them supporting
my mate's band Chicano at st moritz a coupla years ago - they were shit... and all piled into the only gents shitter together... coke tossers.
Bit 'arsh
They might just like going the toilet together...
I saw them
suporting a band recently. They were a million times better than the band they were supporting. I am going to see them again in February. :D
i wasnt
really comparing them to the kooks, just saying that there seems to be a pile of crap music coming out of the place I was born into and its embarassing
Fair play
Get hold of a few of their demo's though, I think they're a bit better than that lot.
Just for the record
, their name is spelt with two e's as in the Maccabees. I've heard a couple tracks off their album and they sounded really promising. I can see how people might find them to be a bit samey though
There's a lot of good stuff
*This is where I big up 4 or 5 Magicians*
Going back to the subject, I like them for creating clever little pop songs.
About the whole London thing
Latchmere is of course about the swimming pool in Battersea (or is it Clapham?).
i like
OAP
got the album sampler. he has a lovely voice.
