  • Try Harder!

    French Kicks is a fireworks show by comparison. Boring as feck. I had to delete them from iTunes in case they showed up in my random plays.

    Erm, maybe I'm overstating things...I dunno.

    Try listening to Doves or Elbow or Coldplay or French Kicks if you need soft rock pretending to be indie.

  • My love for this band is quite large

    I'm not having any slagging of them. Let alone any disparaging comparisons to Coldplay. That's just wrong.

    • Okay

      Sometimes I just talk big shit here for the hell of it.

      Fact is the one time I played ...I forget which one (I have both)... I remember at times thinking "hey this is really good" and then other times saying "whoa shit...this is like indie Nickelback." So I dunno. I gotta sleep. G'nite.

      • I have

        No Cities Left and Gang Of Losers,

        I love his voice, but there not the greatest band in the world. Infact at times they are amazingly dull, but Gang Of Losers starts of okay and then slowly gets boring. The theres all the britpop comparisons :/

      • Hal, Ha, me too!

        I've had a very similar experience with them but I keep getting suprised- Bastards!

  • The singer's voice

    is very Morrissey devotional. I've got No Cities Left, they should really have got a producer in to trim the shit out, the songs just drag and drag.
