everything about them is horribly pretentious tbh... their songs, their releases... constellation records and it's roster. They get away with it though.

There's nothing wrong with being pretentious if you got the goods.

Yeah, they are cool.

The ignorance in this thread is astounding.

One of the best bands ever.

Why?

Because people don`t 'get it'?

I`ve listened to them on a number of occasions with an open mind ,and I just find them extremely boring.

If the message you want to get over with your music is to make overlong directionless songs to show how anti mainstream you are then I have to admit they did a damn good job of it.

Skinny Fists had it`s moments i`ll give them that but they`re few & far between and there`s nothing on there that makes me think they`re one of the best bands ever. And that was a high point anyway , the stuff they did after that was just the same stuff over again with nothing new.

No they broke up, but that doesn't mean they can't be discussed. Why do you keep asking that?

I have TINY FISTS and I really like it, HOWEVER I would'nt say that their music is particulary experimental. It is not mainstream but it takes a lot of cues from film/T.V soundtracks.
