Interesting answer actually. I don't share the 'cool' disdain for Arcade Fire that a lot of snoots like to promote online and what have you..I think they're a god damn amazing band that sound totally rich, unique and fulfilling. They're a stadium rock sort of group that isn't corny and can be incredibly intimate as well as heavy. I've seen them twice and they were simply amazing. There's no real equal to them out there right now.
I've heard SY has been an inspiration for the band. Watch the transition they do from Power Out to Rebellion in most of their recent shows..it's totally a SY noisefest for a good 30 secs. And it's great.
