loving them at the moment. nothing really fresh or innovative about their sound but they have made some decent tunes. its quite minimalist, yet they can really convey some pleasant music through it

As soon as Stephen wrote this thread, i can't escape them. They're everywhere. I was half expecting gareth gates to skate to them on dancing on ice.

haha. i imagine they will fall into the wrong crowd of generic indie followers as do so many good bands these days

What? I don't get that...

You like them for the music but if other people like them then they're just following the crowd?

I think that Pablo honey meant they'll be liked by people just because it'll be cool to like them.

I could be wrong though.

I really like them, they remind me of They Might Be Giants a bit

Its a good summer sound in these bleak winter days. The lyrics aren't owt special really. especailly the bit about peter gabriel in cape cod kwassa kwassa. but i do like them. a lot.

It took me a few listens to get into some of there songs but I really like there style of music, although its not really innovative its different from alot of other music around at the moment.

not really down with this... its a bit catchy...

but its just so tame.

Grammatics are quite similar and really probably just as good by the time they get an album. check them out.

facts of life.

they almost blew futureheads off stage the other night. seriously.

by **earnse** on Wed Jan 30, 2008 6:58 pm

futureheads not really any good then?
or just that grammatics where ace?

by **Bradders** on Wed Jan 30, 2008 8:45 pm

Futureheads have got slightly worse every time I've seen them. Gone from brilliant in 2003 to shit in 2006.

I didn't think Grammatics were very good when I saw them, but I did like the tracks on their myspace...

Iiiiiii don't like Grammatics, but I can't figure out why. They just don't do it for me. This mob, I've yet to listen to.. keep meaning to and then I get distracted by shiny things and biology revision. Maybe I'll do that now. Yes. Yes I SHALL.
