what'dya think? i quite liked one song, can't remember which one it is, from The woods and decided to download the entire album because it reminded me very much of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs....i've listened to the album once ...i'm gonna listen to it a bit more....they rock ....for a chick band....

I've heard one song off of that, 'Rollercoaster', and liked it a lot, never got round to finding out more about them though.

They are very heavy for my tastes, but if you are into more shrieking fem-rock then they are your band. I can see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs similarities especially if you don't listen to the whole album, but unlike the Yeah Yeah Yeahs Sleater-K is just too noisy and crashing opposed to Karen O.'s intermintent screeching mixed with quiet reflectiveness.

i had there album and or EP? and i deleted yesterday haha so what does that tell you?

Ok, got 'The Woods' and it rocks to high-heaven, theres an 11-minute epic called 'Lets Call It Love' which is to die for.

Their song 'One Beat' is really addictive too.

This is my favorite band. I own all seven of their albums. Mostly a fan of their stuff when they were on the label Kill Rock Stars. Dig Me Out and The Hot Rock are the albums I would recommend to start with. Even though I think The Woods is an amazing album, I don't think you can truly appreciate it unless you are familiar with their older work.

Dig Me Out is an incredible record. I usually don't dig this kind of music, but there's something amazingly addictive about that album.

I've heard one song of theirs before and I really can't remember what it was called. Great tune though, they're on my 'to investigate further' list
