Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Bloody good debut album, i just got it. Got some mixed reviews, but i think they are great.

Imagine Elastica crossed with New York Indie and you're halfway there

Superb!

Go and see them live, if only Karen O would stop falling off the stage, they might even do another tour. Good band and a mad fronts woman.

Very art house style rock, bought the EP and the album.

Why?

There's such a huge difference between The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the 'D' band. The former is awesome and the latter is crap.

I kidnapped Peterc's album. Not bad at all. The lead singer sounds a bit scary though.

If he's on about Pearl Jam... well that just shows how much taste he doesn't have, and I will put a hit out on him.
