I Run With Scissors Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 I'm not sure how many Americans have heard of them or not but they're quite possibly the most hyped band to come out of the UK for long time. While and their debut album couldn't possibly live up to the hype, it is still a very fine piece of work and is the fastest selling album ever in the UK. I think they're streaming most of their songs in myspace and purevolume. Check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hayleh Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 got their album. s'awright. totally over-rated but. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Run With Scissors Posted May 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 yay.. took a while to get a few replies to this thread. Yeah they had a tour of the UK, tickets were on sale about a month or so ago and before I even found out about it, they were all sold out!! I still listen to many of the tracks quite often. I wasn't sure how big they'll be as I'm sure most of the North Americans wouldn't get some of the references or localisms in their songs.

whatsername104 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 aww, they're so cute. i don't mean that in like "oo they're so hot" kind of way. i mean their personalities. and their music is a-maz-ing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoePie Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" or whatever thats called is they're only good track. Too over-hyped. That whole brit-pop scene is wank anyway. Everyone sounds the same and they just keep coming. Blur were, and will always be, the Kings of brit-pop.

GibbyPhills Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Most over rated band in the history of British music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Most over rated band in the history of British music. Agreed. Although they did have 2 or 3 decent songs on the last album. The new one "Brianstorm" is quite catchy too, but after the disappointment of their first album I won't bother checking the new one out...

Fire At Will Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I don't know if they're over rated. But I don't know what kind of coverage they got over there,here they were only played on indie stations until recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I don't know if they're over rated.But I don't know what kind of coverage they got over there,here they were only played on indie stations until recently They were basically called the new Beatles over here, got coverage on the news too, and have won practically every award going at music award ceremonies too.
