a place to bury strangers
 
i would hang around with these guys, have you heard their album?

stick your battles record up your ass.

I saw some reviews saying how fantastic they are, listened to a couple of tracks, and I reckon there's a fair amount of hype involved. There's nothing wrong with them, but there's only space in my life for one group of Jesus and Mary Chain impersonators, and they're called The Jesus and Mary Chain.

I'm glad I've it on cd and not vinyl.

it's not just jamc, you can clearly notice the bands they are influenced by, fuck it, everybody copies everybody, they are new and they are playing rock.
i'm getting their record.

sonicl 02.13.2008 07:43 AM

I've just given some of the tracks off the album another listen, and I really think they're a band whose appeal will be short-lived.

█████████ 02.13.2008 08:25 AM

you might be right, i dont know.

i'm not saying this is a masterpiece or anything.

i'm giving them credit for making this shoegaze pop salad out of the sound of a couple of my favourite bands and not sound totally lame.

i'm getting their record, that's all, and if they come around i'm going to see them.

sarramkrop 02.13.2008 08:29 AM

What do they sound like?

sonicl 02.13.2008 08:43 AM

A little bit MBV. a little bit JAMC, a little bit Spacemen 3.


Yeah, I'd go and see them live if they came round my way too. But I'll wait for you to upload the album, rather than buy it myself ;)

sarramkrop 02.13.2008 08:51 AM

I'm a bit put off by their clever-clever name. Any good? A waste of time?

A Thousand Threads 02.13.2008 08:54 AM

they're ok.
Quite good at times but also a little unsatisfying.
Does that make sense?

drrrtyboots 02.13.2008 08:58 AM

They're bound to end up just like all of these other Brooklyn hype bands right now that just happen to be playing at the right place at the right time. They do make some fucking cool pedals though for a heavy price. http://www.deathbyaudio.net/

They're are too many "just good" bands around these days.

Savage Clone 02.13.2008 09:51 AM

Originality isn't everything. I enjoy this band.

batreleaser 02.13.2008 09:51 AM

they are HORRIBLE live

PAULYBEE2656 02.13.2008 09:53 AM

yeah i like them. a thinking mans black rebel motorcycle club. the album is very very good but as with many bands, the 2nd album is where the mustard is cut. but yeah, they are certainly worth checking out. i love that circa 85 feel about them.

the bmrc reference was a little tounge in cheek!

Florya 02.13.2008 01:35 PM

I like them. But what the fuck do I know!?

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 02.13.2008 01:39 PM

Yeah, it's good stuff. I like it alittle more than The Battles, but not a lot more.

uhler 02.13.2008 01:42 PM

i remember buddyhead likes them and buddyhead hates those hyped new york city bands. but they also have a hard on for jamc and spacemen 3.

king_buzzo 02.13.2008 01:50 PM

i really really like them. i love the name the album and their whole sound.

i want to hang around these people.
