I know some of you saw these guys at SXSW the last couple of years and they've got a lot of hype going right now, so I just wanted to let everyone know that their first full album is coming out on Tuesday. They're great live, so it'll be interesting to see how they sound in a full studio release. I've got their EP that came out last year, so I'm really excited about this CD. I don't know, if you have no idea what I'm talking about here's a couple articles about it: http://www.thetripwire.com/reviews/2006/4/12/sound-team-i-movie-monster-i-capitol http://www.jambase.com/headsup.asp?storyID=8511
I've been listening to their EP non stop for the past few weeks as well. Really good stuff. Some of the well known music critics/blogs have been making fun of them saying the lead can't sing and there is no hook, but I really enjoy the music though.
Here's a free full stream of their new album. Really good stuff. http://music.aol.com/songs/new_releases_full_cds?defaultTab=12&ncid=AOLMUS00050000000018
Nice find, Mr. Brightside. I'm listening to this CD again, and there are like 1 or 2 tracks that I don't think are great. So far I think my favorites are "Born To Please", "No More Birthdays", and "Your Eyes Are Liars". I probably like their upbeat stuff a little more, but their dark, tense stuff is really good, too.
