Based soley on that song I'd have to say,"quintessential hipster douchebags." I may be drawing a conclusion too soon so I will listen for another of their tunes before closing my mind to them.

From what I've read online, they were supposed to have The Song of the Summer For 2009 in the UK. Even if I were British, I'd be too old to give a damn.

Oh, yeah ... they're supposed to be good pals with the Gallagher brothers, too.

Don't know/don't care. Their first album is really good if you like indie-ish/dance/rock.

Quintessential hipster douchebags like 3 years ago. Like OMG, you people are so not cool.

Quite a timely topic this is...the album was released in June. Surely subby hasn't been drafting clever headlines for that long???

Hipster douchebags.
Got 31 seconds in.

But is it hardcore????

I was ready with the douchebag flag, then i listened to the song and all the elements in it. I dig it. They may still be douchebags (maybe not) but that was better than the king of douchebags (Oasis) ever wrote and it knew when to end unlike any Oasis song.

I liked their song "Empire."

Ugh. Do not want. But their song Club Foot is a decent ripoff of Beastie Boys.

NorCalLos: if you like indie-ish/dance/rock.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

I really like some of their stuff. Some isn't so hot. Found them from this blog:

Because I like the IT crowd and Dan the Automator and google spit out that entry.

I think she just married Lamar Odom, right?

Empire was the shiat.

West Ryder... eh, it's still on the ol' iPod. I haven't got around to hating it yet.

First album was epic:

You would recognize one of their songs from a Pontiac G6 commercial a few years ago in heavy rotation during the NFL season:

Second album was a little weird.

New album has a pretty nice mix of the two.

Interesting. I didn't dig Empire. I actually wondered if it might've come out before the first album because it seemed to lack character. I may have to go pick up the latest one at lunch.
