Although I see nothing of them in this, more like a cheap/younger version of Arcade fire...:\

Exactly Indie pop is way down on my lists of musical likes. Jingle jangle guitars and not very original, but I like IRON MAIDEN and I know you hate 'em! One each!

Good news boys and girls, their single is now out and... they've got a video for "I'm Not Gonna Teach Him How To Dance With You!"

Check it out, the stuff that AWESOMENESS if made of...

Waaaaank. Watched that video the other day and felt incredibly let down. I have told off the person who recommended them to me.

Anyone heard Partie Traumatic yet? I have to say that it's a pretty solid release after all. I had very low expectations given the hype and the fact that they've actually signed with a major label. It's got a few incredibly fun tracks (like I wanna be your limousine) but I have to say that his voice grates on me after a while. Most of the tracks have very good to excellent music, but the ones that stand out are the ones where the lead singer doesn't wail too much. A perfect example of a great track ruined by his singing would be Look at me (when I rock wichoo), I can't help but cringe every time he sings "Look at me when I ROCH with you" ....rochhh? what?! Still, it's nothing compared to the annoyance of Hit the heartbreakes, it's like listening to a 10 year old being really snotty, with music... A lot of the time it's like an incredibly bad imitation of The cure. Which is a shame because like I said, the music is really good pop. :\

Shiyat dude, that's just about the best track they've done!

Regarding going major label, I think it was inevitable with this band. There was no way they could remain minor, there was simply too much big hit potential. From their own marketing and self-hype they managed to get a track to number 11 in the UK pop charts, and many major label alt-rock bands rarely get that high. They had to go major, this band will be a force to be reckoned with for some time.
