Not only is the song amazing, but the video is equally awesome. Basic, but true to the roots of music videos. Tis a shame that MTV doesn't really show music videos any more.
I cant get it on itunes here in the UK, It seems to be only based in Oz/NZ...which is fcuking stupid...And as much as it loathes me to look, I cant even find it on Pirate Bay etc...
their lyrics are a bit retarded... like a 7 year old trying to write poetry. 'Girl Id like to use your arse as a cunt' would be more poetic than this drivel.
They need to sing about Cumbrian wrestling, the smell of the forest and Icebergs instead.
If you like Cut Off Your Hands, then you might want to check out my "Alternative Nation" playlists published on Rhapsody by going to my Rhapsody website which is included on my YouTube page. There's a good chance you'll like the music.
The power-indie-pop quartet based in Auckland (New Zealand) -with Nick Johnston as lead vocalist-, surprises us with the POWERFUL ninth tune on their debut album "You And I" (2008).
BTW, they're praised as "one of the biggest buzz bands in the world right now"... So, it will be a pleasure to have them performin' Peru shortly!
I concur. Thought I knew one or two of their songs before BDO - ended up pretty much knowing the whole set. Have since acquired their two EPs and love it - am educating all my friends about them too. Can't wait for them to come back to Adelaide.
ok people i think we can all calm down and agree that this is an excellent song from an equally as good country and im from australia and im sayin this. so stop arguing over somethin as little as someones music taste. and if ya dont like it then dont tell the whole world bout it ok
dude... call them shit if you like but why waste your time coming back a day later to see if people react and then making other comments! do you have a life?? and don't bring countries into it... need i remind you of operator please. ping pong... pretty sure these guys kick operator please's ass!
Bass line FTW.
