I still think they were just a fun pop-rock band. Who did their own thing, not even caring that it was done. Not all music has to be pushing the limits you know.

Okay. But go over to my mass of the fermenting dregs thread, download that album and then compare that to be your own pet real quick.

oh yes.
looks like an ex o' mine.

I'll download it and give it a good listen tomorrow I am too tired to assess an album right now.

Because I won't have to put up with people talking about them next time they release a new album.

Great success.

I'd shock her scissors, if you know what I mean.

Hahahaha.

Is that a copyrighted image? If not I'm going to put it on my myspace.

Fuck copyright, have you seen some of the photo's/heard any of the samples I use on MY MySpace?

Fair use, muthafucka.

Exhibit A:

best thread ever!

the song "becky" is just amazing in everywhere, but yeah, they heard so many comparisons to paramore that they said "what the hey! let's try and sound like paramore!".

That would make a change from mentioning Authecre every other post, wouldn't it?

The band have only ever been recorded WELL in one case I can think of, when Steve McDonald recorded 'Bicycle Bicycle' and 'Girls On TV' for the Summer Sensation EP. If I remember, Universal/Ecstatic Peace used this superior EP recording of 'Bicycle Bicycle' when they released it as a single, instead of the earlier, poor quality recording on the album (which was strangely recorded by the same producer and engineer, huh). The drum sound is fantastic on the EP recording, the bass is nice and clear through the scratchy guitar, and Jemina does her thing as usual. If you can get hold of the EP, you should.

Get Awkward isn't really that well recorded and I would agree that the production is too 'commercial rock' sounding- I doubt they'd sink so low as using protools, though. Haters might like to think this band are idiots, but they are most definitely not.. they're in the vein of Descendents, Bad Brains, et al rather than Green Day and Limp Bizkit.

If you wanted to hear this band, you had to hear them live. Like The Sonics, or Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. They rock too hard for CDs and Wax to comprehend.



Exactly. Marty, you need to get off your elitist high horse and stop acting like you're too intelligent for rock and roll.

I am going to take a shit now.

Record it!

Or Boards of Canada.

I'd rather read about Autechre and Boards of Canada than a piss poor band like this.

boards of canada, now there's a boring band.
