[boemsie0906]

i once played on the beach

[keyten4]

@EngineerArcher The Growlers, they're not mainstream, but they are good, try the website called hypem.com and search either the growlers or barnacle beat(one of their songs)

Some of you people should stop comparing them to the beach boys or Iggy pop or whatever else!! If you don't like the song then just don't comment. get over it. Ur wasting your time, Ur not going to change anyone's opinion.

[shota777]

old-fashioned beach party! I love it!

[KingPauke]

[carleeee]

OH NO! Don't hate on Alex!! ....we heart Alex.

[ridingthenose]

Lucky, they are playing San Diego but i'm not 21 so i cant see them

[hairypitsarouseme]

They are teh suck.

[llindzzzzz]

they're good but the singer is totally trying to be iggy pop

[orapanooo]

oh you are so right, but i loooove them no matter what!

[aarondkeogh]

he's just got long arms dude

[rachelbaby007]

The singer is Alex Knost - he's a great surfer !

[pablocruiser]

lou reed wannabe meets go-go's so cal pop.

nothing new, nothing good.

bubble gum comes to mind.

[rexdaggers88]

i still like bubblegum. not everything has to change the world

[pablocruiser]

funny you say that, friend has them on ipod and i actually started to like some of the tunes. they have a good flow, and some of the other songs have a bit more range. guess i was too quick to judge.

[flightsrfb]

haha this looks like it was filmed at newps

[Tommytwostep]

this song leaves one cold

[heathshoegaze]

good song

[undr4r]

kickass tune, love this band

[themeni]

the singer looks like a daryl palumbo wanna be.

[Poppajacks123]

shut the fuck up gay cunt. cause im sure EVERYTHING you listen to isnt regarded as 'hipster bullshit'

[lalasunshine17]

punk rock.

[951hemet]

fuck you bitches!!!!

this song is sick.

[jtgatopickleinca]

アレックスかっこいい♪

サーフスタイルもいいけど、こっちもだいすき☆（＾-＾）

[blandstudios]

i totally agree brohemian

and for everyone that didnt understand

what tgatopickleinca said,

translation:

JAPANESE MOTORS KICK ASS!!! WOO!!! ( ^-^)

[areyoureceivingme]

This single is on limited edition 7" vinyl = sexy!

[alxxxstar]

this song is totally rad!

man i wish it was summer right now!

& ppl shouldnt throw those bad vibes...

[LeahBrianneFrost]

I saw them last night in Kansas City at Uptown and I got to meet them. We hung for awhile and I thought they are really cool. I thought they were purdy good performance wise too!

[N3st0n]

this band sucks. i saw them open for modest mouse tonight, and i didn't actually think that they were signed.

[MRKTFRSH]

i think thats why its called indie?

[N3st0n]

no, i have nothing against indie bands, but when you think a band is so bad that it will NEVER go anywhere, it's rather shocking to see that they are actually making money.

[jp66669]

BLARGH!!! ur mean!! this song does kinda suck but they totally rocked at that concert

[oscarcookofsheffield]

just becuase you dont like it doesnt mean it isnt good music.

[grumpkinfun]

Has your band opened for Modest Mouse? At least you felt something for it! Better to hate it than be indifferent. You are entitled to your opinion but in my opinion they are a fantastic band that will surprise people!

[PatShortBoy]

he's somehow moving like mick jagger, isn't he?

[Enolinosurf]

Alex is god.

[BadAcidVacation]

Its kind of shame, I have a feeling this song could be so much better, if it weren't for the 2 chord chorus, c'mon change it up a little. I like "Batter trends" more

[Toyman6000]

whatever, beached whales

[spiderdoodie]

killler video guys, good tunes, good waves, good vibes, good girls, no lies!!!!!

[komgringples]

very c00l

[gsilver11]

Check the CD cover mate..

[mcube50]

Alex is my cousin!!! Though he probably forgets my name. But thats ok this song is still awesome.

[TheGuitarPlayingMonk]

i like it

and im a metal-head

if you dont like it dont comment

[beanyw33ny]

same here

[marche111]

@TheGuitarPlayingMonk now, i'm not too knowledgeable on metal-heads, but i know that metal-heads are intense and kind of "hardcore." you, sir, are a pussy-ass metal-head.

[LeaheyHoo]

Nice video! These guys are so awesome! I just posted a video of the Japanese Motors playing live in Portland if you wanna check it out!

[dwong1991]

[oithecobra5]

[mcginnjw2]

crap

[DarkRangerRomeo]

OLD SCOOL lol, this band is OK i guess but yh at least the girls are hot in the vid :)

[howlofhounds]

worst live band ever!

[kingddd133]

are u kidding?

i just heard them do an acoustic set and it was amazing

[CocoRosie997]

andrew is sooo hott!!

[TheRealCritique]

I cant believe SPIN gave this garbage three stars. I guess the singer is saleable. His looks, and their crappy catchy chorus might make a career, but only for a very short time. Musically, this is horrid. Beach Boys it aint.

That said, if you guys want to keep at it, I have heard worse. Just make sure you learn how to play better and change up your sound.

Dont be the presidents.

[rexdaggers88]

bro its a summer song chill out.

[Shibbyprincecharming]

The Japanese Motors ROCK

- i happen to like their 60's throwback sound

[zmoney2003]

Yes! So fucking awesome.

[1peoplesun]

suck is not the word dude

drummer needs some lessons.

[tothewaywardwife]

i think its fucking tightsick catchy

=] drop your pants and grab your shades B]

[grilled15]

Iggy pop wanna be. These guys are just flat out terrible.

[joncrans]

Alex is so hip its unbelievable.  lol

[Scando85]

well that was darsh

[DarkCone]

been waitin for this video!keep it up!

[nmn54027]

saw them in boston @the great scott even got a cool photo with the band and I.They were the such a cool band, we drank danced and partied like it was a 60's beach party on acid cant wait to see them again

[socalsr]

I'm pretty sure Alex will read this... so let me say this...

stick to surfing bud.

[mewcho]

so sick of all these new artist recycling old music. be original look to the future. damn. c'mon vice records give me something better than these guys

[LaveseLasManos]

What a velvet underground rip off. Vice records should find something original. This has been done before.

[Asstricks]

wtf is this shit?! Is this the stuff that everyone's so hyped about?? Its terrible =(

and no, I really don't think the Beach Boys would write something like this if they were still around.

[Byahh555Leslers]

Chase wrote this song...

[honesttovlogg]

if the beach boys were new in 2008, this is the song they would make.

the beatles on the ed sullivan show reference cracks me up.

[kook190]

does any1 know the lyrics or where i can get it from?

[someguy419]

shitty singer, noob guitar chords, lame ass drummer

not that i could do any better tho

[ineedtherapyquick]

HAHAAHAH

cahmon thats the beauty of it

[someguy419]

hahahaha

well i guess i can do better guitar

cause i can play whats it like by everlast on my electric =D

[ClubOfTheWaves]

Love it, cool vibe. Like Alex's surfing more though! ;)

[ennui16]

lets chat im bored

[rabbitholeofmoxie]

Reminds me of Lou Reed if his guitar player was Dick Dale. Also kind of reminiscent of the Stroke.

[bloodyxgrins]

awesome

[austincote08]

This video is sweet. It's like the beach boys for our generation.

[withouts4nity]

[thadevious1]
