dear friends
we've uploaded one of the tracks from our debut album - "Shut up! I invented you" which'll be released on Monday 2nd June 2008 for your aural delictation
the track is called "Poland Syndrome" and can be heard here -
www.myspace.com/qwithoutu1
we'll fire up another new song next month
there'll be a limited number of hand made copies of the album available for £5 but we'll also stick a free download link up here so you can steal the whole lot for nowt
do have a listen and let us know what you think wont you?
xxx
your called q without u?
ummm
you guys?
Amazing album name.
Just to make you aware
There is/was a Dischord band called Q and not U.
Anyway nice track
I'm at least 100% sure
they know.
i think they've said they were unaware when they formed
but they definitely know now, since every time they post here lots of people say "you're just copying q & not u"
as previously said
we'd never heard of them
the names are indeed similar
they tried to sue us
they split up
we didnt
maybe you should change the name
or else you'll be that band that sound like Q and not U by name, but maybe not as good
i'm, not saying you're crap, QANU are utter brilliance
ach we thought about it
when they first sent us the cease and desist style letter but to be honest it doesnt really bother us anymore
i actually find it pretty funny the vitriolic/hilariously snide responses it provokes in some folks
when i first saw the flyers for your gigs
at the 13th note, i thought you were a q & not u tribute or spin-off band - haha
damnit!
hes laughing at me!
Sounds great man,
do you want to do a split s.p with my band?
We're called FUGAZI.
e.p
it was LOL going so well
aswell
I should really send a cease and desist letter to you Alex
as your band name sounds way too much like mine. My bands called Fugarzi. People may get the two confused and none of us want that do we? ;-)
i think in this country its called
"cease and fuck off"
;)
Good song !
I want the album !
Don't listen to the haterz.
After all Cure and Curve are both ace bands...
Cheers Lyle!
i'll pm you the link to buy/download for free when its ready!
why the change of myspace ?
the last one got locked
not sure why, think i entered the wrong password in one night whilst wrecked
their customer services department leave alot to be desired to say the least!
add us again as i cant remember your address! :)
Isn't that a Los Campesinos!
lyric, in to the bargain..?
eh?
doesn't ring any bells...
Nah, it's
I invented you and I will destroy you. Don't quote me on that though.
aye thats a lyric from
"death to los campesinos"
maybe we'll start getting abuse from their fans too now :D
your band like being abused
say it !
i was abused as a child
thanks for salting that wound lyle
thanks a fucking bunch
nothing
you're welcome.
is there time to get the album
title changed to 'Hold on now, young fella' ?
'fraid not
we're too busy writing the follow up "balloons and antidotes"
I look forward to it.
Myspace is being funny for me at the mo and won't play any music. I'll check out the tune as soon as it stops being shit.
no probs
let us know what ye think when you get a chance :)
really good tune.
I also really like 'one piece puzzle'. Is that going to be on the album too?
no any singles/b sides we do
are only in short runs and wont be on anything else
you can get it in a cool wee card sleeve from the smalltown america shop here though

haha
that song has been stuck in my head since reading the thread title.
Shut up! I invented you
That sounds vaguely familiar, I like the title, wish I could get in on this but because I live in a rural area I can only get dial-up.
bugger
i'd offer to yousendit for you but i'm assuming that'd take all of 3 weeks to download?
shut up
Bill Bailey says something along the lines of this in his stand-up. He has a beard.
i cant imagine how
much more we'd have been crucified if we'd called it "shine on" or a possibly more inane/common phrase!
does this track sound like
q and not u doing a cover of stockholm syndrome by muse?
hahahahah
haa yeah we know the names are simialrojre
nah it sounds like
"Music for cunts by cunts, the cunt way"
a direct quote from another board
no
again, no
lol
bummed
for day folks
Q without U is
quite an obscure band name for you just to come up with as sheer coincidence, and yes I thought this was going to be a los camposinos thread.
NOT IMPRESSED ON EITHER ACCOUNTS
Shut up
This is as tired and old as your girlfriend. Yes, it's a daft name. Yes, they know. Put it to bed.
Song is alright, but it wont win any awards. Not even 'most ok song' award.
ps. Just for the record, Q without U is quite a common phrase from most people's childhoods. Respond to this and die.
yeah,
i was really pissed off when my band "i before e" found out there was another band called "i preceding e".
You should have changed your band's name to Except After C.
thats actually
an ace band name :D
I might steal it for my own band.
seen as you came up with it
would it not technically just be reclaiming it? ;)
new song uploaded
as above
i’ve just uploaded "teeth of the town" from our debut album "shut up! i invented you" which we’re self releasing on june 2nd
do have a listen and let us know what you think wont you?
x
p.s. i preceding e is a shit name for a band
you do realise...
There's, like, a Pretenders song called 'Talk of the Town'? And a Field Music album called 'Tones of Town'?
OMG LOLZ you guys are soooo lame, etc. ;)
and guitars
how many bands have used them?
you do realise.....
there's been much more sophisticated abuse thrown our way than that?
must try harder
1/10
I remember the days when you got
it ripped out of you on DiS for JAGGING your own band.
Do I sound like a cunt? Yep.
various people on here
JAG their own bands
and i'd agree you do sound like a cunt
i really
really like it
keep em' coming :)
ah, "less than zero" seems so long ago...
it was
4 years to be exact
what
...in the name of Beelzebub's balls is JAGGING?
Sorry, I never attended Intahwebb Slang 101.
Jag: A popular term given to attempts to gain publicity for a musical performance via the internet
Everyone does it, but it's only the people who sign up to do it anonymously who get torn a new one.
Q W U ftw.
oh right...
I thought it was like dogging or something.
TFFT!
dogging's fucking ace
dont knock it till you've tried it
ROLF MAYO
Teeth of the Town
Is a tune, lads.
And a cracking line up for the album launch ;)
That was a JAG.
cheers nicky
looking forward to it
i've uploaded another song
called "the deficit model" for your aural delictation
x
also the myspazz is
www.myspace.com/qwithoutu1
I just received my 'One Piece Puzzle'
single from the STA shop today and it's great. looking forward to the album.
aww cool!
i'm glad you liked it!
as i mentioned above there'll be a really limited number of physical copies which we might be selling online, but definitely at shows
we'll also put a download link on the myspace to get the whole album plus artwork for free though :)
x
hold on...
tam - shouts & slaps
andy - pouts & flaps
scott - prods & nods
calum - whacks & sacks
so...
when you're on tour,
does tam slap andy's flap while scott prods calum's sack?
good songs though gentlemen, yes. :]
you
dirty dirty young man
*the above was said in the style of 'arold from steptoe and son*
but to answer your question - yes indeed he does
glad you liked the songs
Shut up! I invented you would be better for a band name rather than an album
but it's an awesome name nonetheless.
And your music is very good too.
cheers livvy
we might consider changing it but it'd need to get behind the current frontrunner -
the shat pants
bumped
for dayshift :)
OMG LOL
DO U NO DER IZ A BAND CALLED Q AND NOT U DAT IS LIKE YR BAND NAME LOLZ!!111
thats not actually
that far away from some of the responses we've had on here :D
