Bands that Look Great, but Sound Shit.
 
Hate it when that happens. You see a picture of them and go "fuckin' hell, I'm 'avin some of THAT!" Then you listen to them and just think, why?

Exhibit A:

White Zombie (apart from their first album, Soul Crusher, which is fucking brilliant)


 


Exhibit B:

The Lunachicks

 


Exhibit C:

The Distillers (well, Brody Dalle anyway)

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

 


Client:

 


Raveonettes:

 


and, last but not least, Ladytron:

yeah, the same happens with album covers... band names... how many times you get a album just because of the artwork and feel disappointed after listening to it?

Rob Instigator 07.18.2007 12:13 PM

any and all fashion punk bands

Well, maybe just chappy to the left and chappy second from the right. And there's a song or two that are all right. But generally, shit.

I like bloc party. Be nice.

I don't pay much nevermind to the way bands look. It's too bad most of them don't have good fashion sense, though.

_tunic_ 07.18.2007 01:59 PM

I guess I have different taste:

 

gmku 07.18.2007 02:02 PM

You have horny taste.

White Zombie? Look cool?! They look like any standard shitty metal or "grunge" band from the 90s, man.
And Brody is fucking HOT, plus they have some really good songs (my best friend remains that Choral Fang is a fucking awesome album, I haven't heard it all, though).

White Stripes

THE RAVEONETTES are actually a very good band, if you ask me.

pbradley 07.18.2007 06:27 PM

heh, the raveonettes... I remember looking into them cuz of their whole surf rock/noise of their singles but they never perfected the style

Norma J 07.18.2007 06:41 PM

I don't think many of the bands posted in this htread look great. Bloc Party coming ahead of the head, I'd say.

LifeDistortion 07.18.2007 06:46 PM

 


The Donnas- All pretty bedworthy, but thier music gets old fast.

Norma J 07.18.2007 06:49 PM

They don't really do anything for me.
