They also clash at T in the Park. Which one should I see here? I prefer Interpol's music, but I've heard Fucked Up's live shows are excellent, so which one should I choose?

fucked up.

seriously, i can't begin to imagine how you could choose being lulled into a faux-joy division coma over that band's live set.


^^^^

Yeah this


FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF

FUCK THE FUCKING FUCK OFF
I just promised myself I would unload both barrels on the next lazy fucker who brought up the Joy Division Interpol comparison.

I'm sure you're a nice guy buy that really annoys me.

. . . . . . . . .

But, on topic, Interpol aren't the worlds greatest festival band. Better to see them at an intimate venue.


i'm not sure he is a nice guy

i'm sure he is a prick. he has effloresce as part of his username. maybe thats not indicative of his personality, maybe its not. but maybe, just maybe, it is.


Interpol

are a band to see in a smoky little venue on a cold night before going for a couple of drinks and then going home and having a poo and getting a brilliant sleep.

IE. the opposite to a festival band. I've never heard of 'fucked up' and by their name, I'd probably hate them, but yeah, them.


interpol

no matter how good fucked up are live, you will regret missing a band that you like/love.

fucked up!

its a question of being bored and wishing you were seeing joy division instead. or fucked up who are completely and utterly awesome


Fucked Up!

I'll be seeing Interpol at Latitude, but were I in your clash dilemma I would DEFINITELY go and watch Fucked Up.

They were INCREDIBLE in Southampton earlier this year, maybe the best show I've ever been to.

Apart from anything else, they're a small DIY band, who knows when you'll be able to see them again?


Interpol


Fucked Up

Aren't really that great live. Apart from the fat nude singer everyone else (especially the lady) just stands there looking like they'd rather be anywhere else.
However the fat nude singer is a highlight. But still ... Interpol because they're a much better band.


.......

They are both fucking quality. It just depends whether you'd prefer PUNK or ROCK. I'd decide on the day if I was you.


FUCKED UP!


I can't believe

you're even in a quandary about this. F-U-C-K-E-D U-P.


wait just one second

if The National are aparently the American Editors then where does that leave Interpol?


I am completely baffled

By the sudden indie love of Fucked Up!

Completely baffled. Where did it suddenly appear from?


I think there are alot of hardcore fans on here

it aint all indie kids abooooot these parts.


^ this

We're not all indies!


^this

I'm really not very indie.


Fucked Up

every time.


Fucked Up

will probably be more fun!


Fucked Up

(Y)


fucked up

interpol are appauling live, dont waste your time probably high percentage they will get bottled off the stage lol


Interpol

appalling live? have you actually seen them? I am aware they have a reputation as a hit or miss live act. I've seen them twice - Brixton and Astoria. The latter was incredible.

Agree, small intimate venue outscores festival act.. but still.
