Also Death Cab's acoustic cover of "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" is pretty great.

Who are Los Campesinos? I've heard of them, but I can't be arsed to work out why, or if they're any good.

[Skummy]

They're good fun light-hearted indie types - "You! Me! Dancing!" and "The International Tweecore Underground" are a decent couple of tracks, but a whole lot of the music press seem to be in a right state about them - including my beloved Plan B Magazine, who have put them on the cover twice, an accolade no one else has ever received. They're good, but nowt spectacular.

[Gazz]

Yeah, I'd say so:

Especially since he doubles as that crossdresser in Hollyoaks

They're in Edinburgh for my 18th birthday. A night could be made of that if someone else is prepared to buy my ticket. >_>

Pimping of the day, "Operation Ganymede" by Ganymede. It's like Depeche Mode with more space sound effects. "Deeds Not Words" is my favourite tune on the album...

Sick City are a band I've been listening to lately, thought I'd post their MySpace link to see if anybody already knows of them, or if they'd be interested..

How horribly generic.

[SRN]

This will cheer everyone up. If you have already played Guitar Hero III, you will probably recognize this song.

New Rise Against song "ReEducation Through Labor" is up now on their myspace.

[YI]

Eugh. Bands like Rise Against should not write slow songs. It just doesn't work. BAAAAAD!

It sounds like a Bad Religion 'F'-Side, with a 'trendy' chorus.

Dull and generic.

There's a new Los Campesinos! track doing the rounds, called "How I Taught Myself To Scream". It's amazing stuff, but it wont be featuring on the new album. Much like "International TweeXcore Underground" it's just a standalone track.

Pfft, you need to get yourself to Bristol on Wednesday.

Pfft, you need to get yourself to Bristol on Wednesday.

I would do. But apparently there's no actually any new material, so I'm not overly bothered, as the setlists I've seen look similar (besides 1 or 2 song changes) than the last tour.

[tristy]

YI will be happy to know that the new Jack's Mannequin has leaked.

PM?

As I literally can't find ANYTHING on it.

I've found something, downloading now. Just uploaded, 1 seeder...will take an eternity...this better not be bullshit or Tristy I'm coming for you.

I downloaded one song...it seems to be legit.

:wub:

The glitzed up version of "Crashing" I'm not sure about. It's still far too fucking catchy, but the chorus, I prefer it when he pronounced "listening" as "listnin" as apposed to "liiiiiiiiiisting" as he does now.
