yo!
most of you will give me a bad time for liking these guys but hey it's ultra relevant to this thread .
it's a new Italian band that's called AUCAN + their Lp is out on friend labels Rumiance (france) and Africantapes (Italy).
Now these guys are OBVIOUS BATLLES RIPOFF, but it's more bassy/synthy. Sounds good to me, very well crafted with intricate sound textures. Give'em a go. I hear they're good live. Check out
their myspace for live vids.
