I love this song!!!it sounds so cool.I could notice that the introduction is very similar to the one in the song"I can't escape myself" from the English post punk band which was known as The Sound.
its probably the record company that made a radio friendly mix of it, not an outside source like youtube, it was a private, commercial decision, cool it broski
Brilliant, brilliant song. Where did they go? As for that lead singer, he has the edgy charisma and androgynous beauty of a young Brett Anderson. Looks and sounds like a proper popstar. We need to see and hear more of this band!
WOW, Do u know Roy Basanta? The blows's vocal has the same color hair as the guitarrist. And their new album (the blows, Berlin) sounds very much the same
It's a shame, especially considering all of the crappier "Post punk revival" bands that DO get played. I heard them once on a trip to Austin, but that was it. I love their take on this sort of stuff though; it's very refreshing. My band has some ties to them through the old keyboardist, Erica (seen here and in a few of the other videos), and it'd be really sweet to play alongside them if they ever tour out this way. I'm praying the next album gets them exposure here.
They are back now. They have a new single out: Small and the witches revenge. You can buy it on iTunes. And their new album is coming out soon :) More WRM for the people!
Très bonne surprise. Ils devraient toutefois remercier Joy Division pour leur sample de Transmission qu'ils n'ont même pas déguisé... Ceci dit excellent morceau...
best album of the last 2 years by far, at this genre of music at least, proper riffs great voice and they don' t spoil their image even if their influences are obvious, love them, they have a place in my dj sets, hope to see them live!
Interesting how the music and image are each strong enough in their own right that you could put the music with a different look and it still works, or you could put the image with a different sound and it would work.
1st time hearing and seeing these guys and I am able to enjoy both on the first view.
That is the sign of a good band, or poor taste as far as some of you may be concerned. I think they will be very successful if they can keep cranking out catchy tunes like this one.
finn you look so much like your mother !!! a bit weird that jasper is the father of your sister ?but living with nickie anything goes i suppose!!! hippie love !!!
Saw this band 2 and a bit yrs ago at Benicassim 2006. Loved them, really thought they would hit the big time. I think they predicted the 80's comeback to early (ahead of their time...in a way?lol). If they had come out now, they would be massive.
WRM cut down on live shows shortly after 2007's gigs with NIN in australia and spent 2008 recording album 'by way of swans' which is out any day. UK showcase gigs for this have just been announced, this month in norwich (28 jan) and hoxton, london (29 jan). in the mean while 'taxxi' moved on (previously of the keyboard persuasion and now working in the art world) to be replaced by another girl named 'poppy'. all this and more detail is found on the myspace profile: whiterosemovement
eres un poco paleto o tonto no? yo diria q las dos cosas
anda aprende algo sobre white roses movemet y sobre historia. q falta parece q os hace por mexico. si quieres una pista busca por la segunda guerra mundial.
I'm with those arguiing that it's okay to use a similar sound, but kosjkat is right, the bass is EXACTLY the same as in Joy Division's Atmosphere. Very rude I say =X.
i'm completely agree with you, i'm going to mix both them at same time tomorrow in my club!!! is exactly the same bass, this song goes some faster than joy division' one but are equal, the bass rythm is identic.
So love this band!! this song just makes me wanna dance my ass off!! Love the 80's style synth sound its so much more exciting than some of these whiney screamo and generic indie bands around at the moment. Finn Vine is also pretty hot!!!
Oh, COME ON! The bass line is a ripoff from Joy Division! Some of the synth riffs were stolen from Gary Numan! or "funky town"?
This is ok for lil' fashionistas who're just discovering the 80's and enjoying the kitsch revisionism of it but, come on, some bands are a bit more respectful with the whole New Wave thing without blatantly stealing from their influences.
you guys need to realize that hundreds of songs use a similar sound. exspecially when falling into a caterogory like pop which is based off 4 beat meters. 12 notes in a scale. 12x4 48 x 2 = 96 songs possible in just a 4 beat meter. assuming that the pop is just sticking to the major or minors. *which all music does* so in the end its fairly easy to come across songs that sound similar. La bamba, wild thing. super freak cant touch this. all of these are jsut an example why pop sucks...
singer;s voice is like a wierd kind of hypnotic. pretty unique

It's a shame, especially considering all of the crappier "Post punk revival" bands that DO get played. I heard them once on a trip to Austin, but that was it. I love their take on this sort of stuff though; it's very refreshing. My band has some ties to them through the old keyboardist, Erica (seen here and in a few of the other videos), and it'd be really sweet to play alongside them if they ever tour out this way. I'm praying the next album gets them exposure here.
