    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.

  • why are you from NZ?

  • no why? i just like them ^_^

  • dude how about you just shut your mouth dotn hate just cause they made it big and your stil picking your nose and eating your snots... retard....

  • 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.

  • you sound like a cunt

  • fantastic

  • combo of style council and The Smiths, and a bit of indie. Which i think is awesome (Y)

  • Oh sorry, I thought i looked up the smiths for a second....

    They're still a good group though.

  • oarsum toe taper...lardie

  • 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.

  • Yes, a HYPERSTRIKING band for this year...

    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!

  • ."im still fond of you" is a smiths lyric.also same gtar sound.and same guitar...what next? "now is too soon"i hate trite love songs too.

  • favored

  • No Cut off your hands kicked as at adelaide BDO

  • 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.

  • Cut off your hands kicks ass better than any other band >=]

    Damn right they come from NZ

  • No they didnt , arcade fire did =)

  • omg! They're great \o/

  • when i first heard their music i was under the impression they were from north england; the sound is similar to franz ferdinand et al..

  • Same! Could have sworn they where from Liverpool or somesuch. Those New Zealanders, what will they come up with next....

  • Luv this song man!

  • I REFUSE TO CALL THE COYH

    Theyre always The Shaky hands to me

  • this band will save music

  • yeah this song is one of my favs at the moment.......looking forward to seeing them at bdo!!!

  • 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

  • but dude..that's the whole point. bitchin about music on youtube is where its at (dontcha kno?)

  • none of you guys commenting are even anywhere as close to goodness as Cut off your hands are!!! Eat that!

  • Dudes, stop bagging them just because they're New Zelanders. Music can be brilliant regardless of the bands location of origin

  • saw coyh at portsmouth wedge,, one word IMMENSE!!!!, although i did worry me when nick was about to swing on the lighting rig,, scarrreeeee. <33

  • Cut Off Your Hands rocks! We shot their show in NYC at CMJ this Fall. check out my profile!

  • ...and what have you done lately that was so original from the rest of the world?

  • Another good band from NZ. The Datsuns Kick ass!!!!

  • 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!
