  • Amazing, is there any song that this band has sung that doesn't make you want to cry because its actual music with a soul? Personally I would never compare them to the Killers, although I also love the killers, but there are a few times when the pronunciation of the words are reminiscent of the killers.

  • @FallingLeaf20 There is one song actually; I don't wanna be on TV. It's the one and only TATE song I don't like :) Every other song by them is pure perfection.

  • @FallingLeaf20 haha yea Ive noticed that too... but I love this band's story on how they were formed lol you should check it out

  • does anyone know when their new album is out? because their new songs are amazing, particularly 'all i ever wanted'...check it out :)

  • Awesoe, just awesome.

  • This song makes me think of old 50's rock XD

  • good song

  • Every video I have been through of these guys have been compared with some of the completely different bands haha; Radiohead, The Frattelis, The Killers and Blur! Just accept they cant be tied down to one sound and they vary enough aswell as keeping there fans happy! :)

  • great song nothing else to say

  • the lead singer has an AMAZINGGG voice<33:DD

  • Got to love that bass line!

  • Fifa 09! :D

    ...like gasoline.

  • FIIIIIFA 09

  • WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • I agree about the hole "Fratellis like" sound...

  • The Killers rock

  • @grossclubawesome Yes The Killers are awesome. And I love the Toxic Airborne Event.

  • Mein Lieblingssong bei Fifa 09

  • Best band that I have heard in two decades just from this song and Sometime Around Midnight

  • @connecticutskier1 listen to "Wishing Well" that's my favorite song from these guys..

  • @offwithYOURhead89 YES!!!!!

  • this song reminds me of fifa 09

  • Great song !!!

  • there really gooD!

  • Maybe the Strokes but not the Killers

  • This album is incredible. 

  • i think this song personally reminds me of the Fratellis. just this song though. the Fratellis are a completely different sound.

  • @neelakiller I went to a fratellis concert and these guys opened for them

  • this song pretty much screams fratellis...almost a cross between flathead and henrietta. not like that's in any way a bad thing

  • I love all the people who complain that these guys are derivative.

    "Jesus, these guys sound JUST LIKE The Killers... wait, no no, they're total Arcade Fire ripoffs... this is... this is the Strokes, I mean, seriously... the... the Decemberists... uh, Franz Ferdinand?"

    Apparently they sound like EVERY BAND EVER!

  • @Tekkactus personally they really sound like The Airborne Toxic Event to me, but what do i know. =P

  • @Tekkactus They do sound like Franz Ferdinand, but FF has a unique sound as does The Airborne Toxic Event

  • I actually love this band, come play in the Uk u bastards!

  • The first band this band reminded me of was The Killers. I had even thought of The Killers in awhile. And it's a compliement if anything to be compared to The Killers.

  • Someone remarked that the solo 1:22 here is the same one as in the Indian Condom Song, 1:00. Freaky.

  • I'm a BIG Killers fan and this sounds nothing like them.

  • You only need to listen to a few of their videos to know that your gonna buy the album

  • shut up fuckin cunt!

  • i like this song alot! :)

  • fifa????

  • haha does it matter if they sound alike? they r both awesome XD <3 haaa this song makes me smile O: but why? x)

  • i love this song,always listened to acoustic though,like this one better

  • i love this group. and i love the killers. but, they're not the same. not really. and if you were a fan of either, you would stop comparing them and just enjoy the good music :)

  • i remember this from somewhere, what commercial is it on?

  • So hard to believe Pitchfork gave these guys a 1.5/10. The dumbass reviewer acted like he didn't even know they had a violinist!

    This song is my anthem, though. Fuckin' story of my life~

  • @ShizukaNaAme

    Pitchfork was probably having its period when that review was written.

  • @ShizukaNaAme damn the same thing happened to mr. hudson... a totally different style of music... but he makes some good music too and they gave him a 4 out of 10

  • @ShizukaNaAme it is a bit the same as almost every other tune of the last million years tho eh. We demand more original music!

  • @ShizukaNaAme THANK YOU. AGREED

  • @ShizukaNaAme Yeah Pitchfork's reviews are awful. I don't see how this could realistically be given a 1.5/10. Terrible review and reviewers.

  • @kickazzkev google gasoline "toxic effect" lyrics and it should take u right there

  • I love this song!!!! Does anyone know how to get these lyrics??? PLEASE RESPOND IF U DO!!!!

  • my favorite song!

  • i feel on top ofthe world when i listen

  • There's just something about each ATE song that draws me to it. His voice and the tune, the build ups and stuff. I love all of them! :)

  • XD This song makes me wanna skip through a field of daisies, holding something highly flammable...

  • Superman I mean you heard When you were young by the killers?this sounds like it a little...to me atleast idk

  • You can see a slight similarity between The Killers and the Airborne Toxic Event. But nah. This doesn't really sound like The Killers. Both bands are amazing though :)

  • It's audiofied emotion.

  • its swing music....has nothing to do with the killers or any of their sounds

  • I love this song.. and band :P

  • I personally kind of like the killers but I can't see how anyone can say these guys sound ANYTHING like them

  • me 2 man i like the killers

  • @hisuperman Its kind of like a blend between franz ferdinand and the killers, Its totally unique though, cant really miss these guys when you hear them.

  • completely agree

  • @hisuperman well, it kinda has the same music and like setting(?) of a killers song :) plus, both bands are freakn awsome

  • @hisuperman They sound a lot like Gaslight Anthem

  • @Peliz777 you are an idiot the killers are one of the most pathetic washed up bands there is the airborne toxic event doesnt get nearly enough credit they are 50 times better than the killers

  • fifa 09

  • The are like The Killers in that they have a different type of sound, and they are both very talented bands.

    But they don't really sound alike at all.

  • dud is this actually the killers did someone mess up the name ? hhahaha jk no one get mad get glad

  • whoa these guys are really good jusrt stumbled across them aswell MINT!!!!!!!

  • When are the acoustic versions going to be put on an album???????????

  • i really love this song!!!

  • who said this sounded like the killers? they sure as hell don't, they clearly have their own style.

    if I should (and i don't really want to) compare them to any, I'd say Kings Of Leon. Don't know why, reminded me of them.

    But no, they have theur own thing going on

  • No no not really

  • sick bass notes

  • @dx2265 no, not really

  • @hisuperman

    Of Course :p

  • bad ass lyrics!

  • they remind me a lot of the Strokes

  • this song has the best lyrics

  • I love these guys...and I'm probably gonna get some shit for saying it reminds me of someone but it gives me a kind of Gaslight Anthem vibe...great band...look em up

  • Hehe I saw them in concert :] Everyone was singin along to this song. xD

    So fun :D I got Mikel's autograph.

  • i know them from fifa 09 :D playsong

  • I agree, they do not sound like the killers. the killers have a totally different unique sound them these people. and these are unique, but not Killers unique. ya know?

  • they have their own sound and style. their songs aren't always the same. they rock. i love em

  • I agree with the whole they sound like who they are! The sound of this band is pretty damn unique, i dig the violin! Though does any1 disagree that it sounds as if though they were influenced by bright eyes or am i totally wrong?

  • Either way you look at it, it definitely says something about the music when you see that there aren't a dozen people cursing each other out as it is on many other YouTube pages. These guys are awesome and I've heard that they're down to earth and appreciative of fans which makes them 10 times better!

  • i don't know how the killers sonud, but this is amazing!

  • They remind me of Artic Monkeys, Chris Cornell and Albert Hammond, Jr.

  • I need to get this album, they're so good!

  • i agree blackout but they sound way too good to sound like the killers lol

  • does it really matter what band they sound like? point is, some one's gonna think you're wrong all the time. can we just agree to say this band is great no matter what you think they sound like.

  • Instead of saying who they sound like, how about saying how they sound? Cause I think they sound different and new! They're pretty good I think!

  • it doesn't matter how it sounds!! it sounds like the airborne toxic event!! man stop!!

  • this song makes me wanna get up & go out & party..this song also always makes me hungry:D

  • lool

  • This song is quite delicious. :P

  • No, this doesn't sound like the Killers. It sounds like the Arcade Fire without the strings/horns and The Strokes.

  • @Thom2509 Sounds a bit like a Fratellis to me, who sound like The Strokes so that's pretty right :)

  • I also find this song very reminiscent of the second half of Wake Up by Arcade Fire.

  • Totally disagree.

  • thisa is nothing like the killers because this is actually really good

  • i love this song it is so powerful

  • This song is in FIFA09.

  • this song is the bomb

  • Gonna see them on Nov. 6th in London!!!

  • I HEARD THIS SONG FROM FIFA 09!!

    lol.

  • this is a fantastic song!!!!! love it. love them. great musicians

  • OOOOOOOO MMMMMMMMMMM GGGGGGGGG

    ive been looking for this song EVERYWHERES

    i saw these guys on directv and i love this song but didnt know the name

  • i completely agree..their sound is similar to the killers- who i happen to also love- so i dont mind. [:

  • They remind me a little of The Killers... but they have their own thing too... so i'm neutral [:

  • hahaha i've seen these guys live (incredible) and met the band afterwards...very cool guys!

  • they have the best lyrics

  • Remind you of the killers. yeah right?????

  • they remind me of the airborne toxic event?

    i dont think you should compare bands

    just saying, dont bite

  • -rolling eyes- whatever saw them recently in wisonsin ..they coverd 2 smith songs

    I felt they kinda sound like them plus many others including the killers

    Go douche out

  • mean while we shouldn't compare books movies games broadcasts sites foods lifes people towels clothes houses cars banks economies states schools boats beaches... yeah lets not compare anything to anything else in its category so we won't know whats worthwhile and whats not. they sound like the killers or interpol in most songs.

  • You make no sense darling.

  • Sooo rad.

  • Cleveland show august 4th, im going

  • me too i cant wait its gonna be amazing

  • i love this song its probably one of the most played on my ipod

    the band is also one of favorite yet idk why but they remind of my other favorite band the killers and idk why...

  • its because they set their beats up just as the killers do, they start a simple beat and build on it and then normally finish the song with all beats together for a few seconds and then theyre disassembled again. I love the Killers too

  • Pretty cool song. About time another New Wavish group has came out today!!!

  • this song is in fifa 09 the best song ever in the history of fifa its nice when you are doing tricks in the arena

  • no clue who the band is...great song though!

  • the airborne toxic event is the name of the band

  • i think he means hes never heard of the band

  • I don't think so. U2 is a great band, but Airborne Toxic Event has a different style

  • yeah I don't hear U2 in them either but, to each their own.

  • they remind me more of the killers and arcade fire.

  • you read my mind. not U2 very much.

  • ahh i thought the same thing on the killers part i posted a comment that said that then i scrolled down and found this comment, im glad to see someone else does also

  • just another great jam

  • awesome

  • Can you please make a studio version of wishing well because i cant find one anywhere!! just rubbish quality live ones

  • Quality !!!

  • thanks a lot...i am really starting to get into this band...i like a lot of their songs now...

  • that's exactly why idid put it on. thanks

  • Thanks for adding,five star,great song from a great band!

  • I'm with you... the acoustic is okay, but this version (studio) is really solid. Well done mate.
