    Has anyone heard these guys? I think they're pretty damn good.

    Pitchfork's review was indecipherable. I've been meaning to listen, but I don't care enough.

    They're catchy, and Take Me Out is a good song, but I don't see them as the revolutionaries that NME proclaims them to be. I passed up the chance to see them at Reading before they got big... oh well.

    They're really good. After David Bowie, they're the main reason I bought a four day ticket for Rock Werchter.

    I liked Take Me Out a lot, really good catchy riff, but the second single is frankly a bit wet.

    C4 keeps playing ads for them and I have no idea who they are.

    there a bit too melodic for me a times, it does sound like sub standard prog rock.
    Your sig is too hilarious and witty, thus i have removed it to protect the minds of all forum goers

    Eh, they were good for a while, but the more I listen the more I'm bored of them, that and the fact that their second single is almost exactly the same as the first.

    Good thing I never bought the album, just listened to the songs played over and over on TV.

    They're coming to NZ, and while I did like the one song I heard in the music store, I'm pretty sure that isn't justification to buy tickets, although they are cheap...

    I've seen their music video and its so odd I keep watching. The music is not bad, but once you've heard it enough times at work you get a tad tired of it. I still watch it though when I can. I'd see them if the tickets were cheap. I believe they are a Scottish-sorta Vines type band. That's just what I hear.
    I need to get a real signature. Please let me know if you're into this sort of this and willing to help for the price of say, on the house.
