Steaming pile of over rated shit which have added nothing new to the world of music as they are just another shitty Indie band.

Although they come from the same tedious line of white British music as every other wank luddite British indie band (The Jam, The Smiths, Oasis, The Libertines...) they are, undeniably, very good at what they do, and triumph through sheer force of sound and melodic riches. The lead singer is also a fairly sharp lyricist, which is rare in British rock these days. Drummer is good too, which again is rare in British indie as most of these bands seem to have drummer solely because "that's what bands have".

In the long run though, they will inevitably turn out to be bad for British music, purely because of the success they've head, as labels will sign loads of shite sound-a-likes. Same as Oasis were (except Oasis really were shite).

They're ok, but I wouldn't say they're the greatest band.

Good band, didn't like the second album as much, but it was still not "shit".

Their "music" reminds me of a perpetually looping ipod commercial

ITT: Disgusting filthy metal heads who think anything which isn't the same monotonous 'heavy' metal sound which only appeals to filthy rejects of the world that nobody likes, and mock every other music genre to finally feel better than someone,

Also, good and unique music

Don't shit yourself because people have different tastes in music, and all don't love what you do.

Ahahahahaha!

Yeah right.

Nice one on resorting to an ad-hominmem attack on us that don't like them instead of responding in a manner that would make us take you seriously, such as explaining the reasons why you think they are so good.

Also, good and unique music

Good is based on perception, in my opinion it sucks. But Unique? Pull the other, it's got bells on it.

And just so you know I may be a 'filthy metal head' but I also listen to Jazz, Blues, classical, Rock, Pop, the odd bit of rap and scarily enough some Indie.

I also love how you attack us for being narrow minded in our approach to music yet you then go on to call all Heavy Metal monotonous. How does it feel to be a hypocrite? Generalising an entire genre of music is a bit narrow minded don't you think?

They are alright, was something new for me to listen to a while ago :P Nothing amazing, but they are damn talented for their age, i'm sure they will go on to produce some great(er) things in the future :3

hadn't listened to any of that garage rock for a while, brought me back a little bit :P

I'll admit they play the music quite good, but not quite in the same league as say, Queen, or The Beatles.

nationality isnt really a factor in this argument. If you celebrate mediocracy like the Arctic Monkeys you dont really deserve an opinion.
