We Were Promised Jetpacks "Roll up your Sleeves" FatCat Records

[mycrustytoe]

@FangsFirst yeah but for me when we talk about bands such as this amazing band and certain sport topics like tennis with andy murray for me i like to think of them as scottish as they represent scotland and if they have a strong accent such as WWPJ :)

[blizzley]

Anyone notice the similarities between this song and Two Door Cinema Club's "What You Know"? Or am I just being crazy?

[jsmulls]

fucking 240p.....

[therealnr10]

5 feb i see these guys!!! i love the music

[TheIndigoHeart]

Scottish, British, European, Human. Grow the fuck up.

[Rockingstar01]

Sorry missed something... It's the same thing we like being recognised apart

[Rockingstar01]

I love the song... And for the record people in Britain view everyone in the other countries of Britain separate so call them scottish.

[flubetoob]

it is british you idiots. britain = england, wales, scotland. the united kingdom = england, wales, scotland, northern ireland. obviously geography lessons in scotland are somewhat lacking..

[LanceCooL18]

@flubetoob Why obviously? because 1 or 2 comments on a video on YouTube? haha obviously generalization lessons wherever you live are rampant.

[KittyKittyMewMew01]

i love their accents~ :3

[stargarza2015]

this song is a great song to sneak some one in to your house......!!pssshhh

[TimePastTheClocks]

People who fight over the territories of the UK on a music video. Oh no! Someone made a mistake- must correct!!1!!!!1ONE!1!1 Smh. It's music. Enjoy it.

[ImHansHi]

seein dem at the metroooo

[ergiagguaro]

Great ... I should be an Indie Talent Scout ... does anybody have a job for me ?? :-)

[michaelb3197]

@ergiagguaro I do but this band is signed tell my firm more (unsigned bands) and I might have part time work for you. LiquidLabel@hotmail.co.uk

[MrJoeybee87]

STEAK ARM

[waaazo1221]

@MrJoeybee87 your STEAK ARM needs to stay calm

[ImaCat9000]

God America needs more bands like this. The Scots got something going on that is just godly!

[Nick180skates]

@ImaCat9000 dont worry im working on that with my band! :)

[waaazo1221]

why does american love mass produced crap so much.. i wish i were british

[waaazo1221]

@waaazo1221 referring to any place on the british isles

[CDspartan21]

@waaazo1221 these guys are Scottish mate.

[waaazo1221]

@CDspartan21 i know, i meant anywhere on the british isles and scotlands on the brittish isles

[FangsFirst]

@CDspartan21 and Scots are British... Admittedly, some might conceivably take offense at being labeled as such (especially considering it is typically used to mean "English" in the States)...still true.

[mikedies89]

@waaazo1221 We Were Promised Jetpacks are going on tour with "Bear hands" and "Royal Bangs" two fantastic American bands. There's good music everywhere, and there's bad music everywhere(yes, even in the U.K.) people are just too lazy to find the bands worth listening to.

[iliketowatchducks]

have you ever been like, hey! that song.

watch?v=-8CDxWKy2IM

[TheBox67]

when are they going to come to SoCal!!??

[DeaglePro]

im not even kidding!

[AnGeLWiNgS93]

i love their accent. But most of all, their music =D

[Anthonythebest1]

@AnGeLWiNgS93 ikr its like their music is a combination of fergie and jesus

[jdmpreston]

@Anthonythebest1 its not only fergie and jesus here, but you all are completely correct about music here.

[Gav744]

That sounded retarded but the point is it scottish not british

[Gav744]

Its a Scottish accent duurr just saying it's british is stupid as many people believe that a British accent is english just look american tv

[rymcmanus]

video and sound quality are shit

[pogiewogie]

greatest band name ever is at 100! I'm not gonna mess with that!!!!!

[unrypetomato]

this is an awsome band

[JuicySquirrel]

Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England all constitute the United Kingdom. That is considered one country. However, each of these constituents consider themselves to be their own nation divided by a certain culture. It would be like calling a New Yorker a Californian. Canada is its own country (actually the only nation that we could never successfully invade and incorporate into the US), so the confusion between the US and Canada is less prominent. Let's just all relax and not worry.

[honcho247]

@JuicySquirrel Dont class the UK as a country in its self. There are 4 seperate countries each with there respective capital city e.g. England to london , scotland to edinburgh , wales to cardiff , and northern ireland to belfast . And to conform @blacktheory's Point im scottish and no we dont like being called british at all . for another fact on our passports it says scottish . Thanks anyway for deciding what we scots like to be known as !

[KingHoYeah]

@honcho247 our passports say Scottish? Mine says British Citizen :/

[BlueMoonz55]

God, If I love any noise greater than this song, it'd have to be the equivalent of a thousand angel's singing while god voices an orgasm.

.-.

The odds of that happening are very slim....

[zuthenify]

love the sound! found the band through a "the twilight sad" music video. as said before great band name. lol. but at any rate good music here

[paramorevampire1996]

ohhhhh how cool !! :)

love them :D

[Deornight]

Love this band...killer song!!!

[ScreamingxCookie]

Indie with a dirt sound and british accent. Love it

[blacktheory]

@ScreamingxCookie scottish mate.

[23ux]

@blacktheory He said "british", right? Isn't scotland part of britain?

[blacktheory]

@23ux part of the uk yeah. but scotts can get quite offended when you call them british. they prefer to be called scottish haha. Thats the case with the irish as well. its like calling a canadian an american i guess.

[Haggisman0]

@blacktheory I definately agree

[neilb229]

@blacktheory Dont be a fuckhead. Canadians have never been conquered by the USA, the Irish are not part of the UK or GB. Scots have only one L in their name and I've never thought of myself as British either. Get a grip, man, it's called fighting for freedom. No need to invade about it.

[blacktheory]

@neilb229 huh im not invading anything. I was just telling the guy that scottish people dont like being called british. like canadian people dont like to be called american. No need to get all touchy about it.

[neilb229]

Suck ma scottish banger you fuck heads! We all love the Rabbit. But then only for some sort of Moshy afternoon. Jetpack Cunts Yes!!

[fredfred39]

I do enjoy this band, but they have got to be more than inspired by Frightened Rabbit. I mean, the guitar riff, the quiet verses that bleed into louder choruses and bridges, but that's not a bad thing, because Frightened Rabbit is one of the best bands making music right now.

[TheAssassinB]

I heard this song live at the Rock & Roll hotel, its one of there new ones. I love these guys.

[DJmeowmix15]

This band brings joy to the indie music world.

[ValeriaBenavides]

I saw these guys two nights ago, they came before Jimmy Eat World & I enjoyed these guys' music more! lol. They were fun to watch especially the front man, he was so cute with his red cheeks! He was so energetic, great show!

[HaliusLeol]

They are special guests at a Jimmy Eat World concert!!

[MisterMuzick]

@HaliusLeol Seein' them tonight, can't wait!

[lurpinator]

Tapping my foot, and procrastinating at work. Thanks a lot guys!! Keep up the great tunes!

[daltontroy26]

this video reminds me of volcom



[CourtyardPigeon]

like a faster version of Vampire Weekend 

[stonebirdsmusic]

where's my 3-d glasses? :) this is my second favorite Scottish band

[MrKidGrey]

@stonebirdsmusic Frightened Rabbit yes?

[Biggestmutemathfan]

If you like these guys you'll love

- Two Door Cinema Club

- Bombay Bicycle Club

- Foals( My personal favorite out of this bunch)

[emperor3d]

@Biggestmutemathfan Good lad :D I like those too. Haven't heard Two Door Cinema Club yet. Will do now :D

[daeeggs]

i just ate a roast egg!

[JakerO4]

[zbuzz90]

[heyheyitshanna]

[olsongoyo]

[Conzillafication]

ah i have found you love..lol. amazing band.

[ads111692]

[TheUberMuffin]

kinda reminds me of Achilles Last Stand by led zep

[MyrtMillionair]

awesome band!

[dieliebesusi]

<3 damn, i love this song

[ElBrillante4]

the video reminds me of the "Saved by the Bell" intro lol

[TheRockandLove]

i love it!!!

[Isellyoudogfood]

This band is so epic. I've actually just sat here for three hours listening to their music.

[sherwood2220]

these guys are so great.

[himynameisjaack]

I've started hearing the "stay calm" bit as "steak ham". Ruined the song a bit for myself now.

[spartan247]

@himynameisjaack Rofl, let the man sing about meat will ya? rofl jk

[viperpiper1991]

hahaha wtf lol

[Watch4ndL3arn]

I first heard the opening on fuel tv and i had to find out what song it was.

[misterMrKr]

lol steak arm

[bloodpoop09]

disgrace to music

[houshmandben]

is this in 3d cool band

[bonobf]

I am impressed. If it's not Scottish, it's crap.

[emcb1230]

last time I checked scotland was part of great britain and located on the british isles. Not like 2do called them english.

[xXxSilentWarxXx]

AWSOME band name

AWSOME music

AWSOME vocalest i give it a 5/5

[serjberger]

GREATEST BAND NAME EVER.

[FUELEDbyVEGGIES]

@serjberger Nahhhh. Portugal. the Man is the best.

[TheW0rldsGame]

for a person who loves metal i got to say not that half bad funny name for a band.

[jlaudio184]

@TheW0rldsGame

Because we were! WTF.

[awwwwdamnyobaby]

seen them at t in the park, amazing!

[allanispro]

steak arm steak arm steak arm steak arm steak arm steak arm steak arm steak arm steak arm steak arm.

[courtneymilko]

until the day i die...

[kickthestar]

Scottish not British

[2dowhenyourbored]

This is my fav british band! WWPJ!!!! Its like a breath of fresh air

[RSSproductionz]

Uhm..they are Scottish

[randomnarutofan]

The instrumentals in this are insane, and his accent just adds to the sort of... (excuse the lameness) magical effect.

[saradillon22]

they are a lovely little band x

[llttdatBenG]

can't wait o see them!

luckily i won't have to as i'm going to see them tonight!!

[luvsspoogin]

listen to it when biking in the winter

[harley1211]

llove the scottish shizzle lmao xx

[maxfranks04]

i bought the album, and i must say it's quite excellent.

[LAUGHmaniac123]

i heard this song on FuelTV and i loved it.. all 5 seconds xD nah but this band is really good

[h3gamer]

fueltv is the best thing ever!!

[LAUGHmaniac123]

@h3gamer It really is. xD

[peroznio]

Is it just me.. or does the singer have some similarities with The Killers' singer?

The music of We Were Promised Jetpacks is 'lot better than the Killers, but just.. at moments the voice just seems a bit like the Killers' singer.

[mathiasrodland]

I kind of agree, but the voice of lead singer of killers is a lot more flimsy if you know what i mean?..

[mattvm009]

@peroznio yeah I see what you mean, but the accent does make it distinct and very different. I've noticed that a lot of singers have similarities with the killers singer. including bono.

[redwingtrekie24]

[i agree with the dude below!!!] THIS BAND IS BRILLIANT & has that ORIGINAL APPEAL!!! THEY ARE UNDERATED, SO IS THEIR LATEST ALBUM, ITS A BEAUTY!!!

[JesseUrbin]

These guy's are so fucking underated.

[harley1211]

@JesseUrbin yess!!!

[BethPessoa]

this sounds like a poppy Fire Engines

[huetsoob]

very very nice

[ES4LIFE14]

i love all this scottish shizzle :)

noicee.

[predator92lol007]

Proper music, greets from holland

[Emilymaysing]

love everything about this...the beat, the voice, the accent! Come to Denmark!

Roll up your sleeves for winter

And I can wait till summer

When you're warmer!

[tanya21able]

please dont ruin this for me and compare it to twilight in any way

[HomicidalPicnic]

Not Twilight the movie. Ew.

The Twilight SAD. A band. Also from Scotland.

[lamoscaenlaleche]

A really good band!!! Hope they are coming to Spain one of these days.

[krazyates888]

i just accidentally googled these guys 30 seconds ago and i'm in some serious love right now

[chenchingwang]

dude same here! but i clicked on a radio station on itunes and heard these guys

[mlouuuu]

i love this band! i might be the only dutch person who knows this band haha.

[TseTseFlyMan]

With all the Twilight Sad talk, there should be no surprise that they're opening for the Sad in the US...

[HomicidalPicnic]

I saw them in NYC and they were great!

[CaptinUnderoos]

Their songs make me want to belt out soulful Scottish tinged notes of longing. Lovely. <3

[jmiahb]

Really cool vid! Great song

[shockingpinks]

headed toward cold play territory here...

[Nicknamevanniks]

headed toward hostile territory with that comment lol

[TrouvonsLesEtoiles]

That would be... a good thing XD

[mikeehokkaido21]

are you shitting me? fuck you

[mosh53]

que buena banda, me encanto el disco !

[thedeadcatman]

yeah what you said

[Raymantico]

we were promised lads that are cute...dee-livered!

sassy!

[tunegrl]

such cute accents!

[unluckytourist]

Sound like Dismemberment Plan with funny accents

[mikeehokkaido21]

they are like twilight sad, but more energetic and raw, not saying twilight sad is bad, they kick ass! fat cat records is awesome!

[HomicidalPicnic]

If you made the Twilight Sad pop they'd be this.

[mikeehokkaido21]

i think this is twilight sad without the sad part actually :)

[HomicidalPicnic]

Ooooooo good point.

[mikeehokkaido21]

haha yeah, i like them both though! pretty stoked for the twilight sad album

[ThatGuyMattt]

At t in the park I damn near shouted my throat out. And im a dude. But this band is special.

[pwnrofldairyqueenbbq]

They are a new band, you can't expect a grade A music video to go with it.

[GoSquareGo]

Seems like a shit video for an amazing song.

[thomasimon]

I quite like it actually

[ZombiesAteMyUsername]

Love this song.

[laXfever34]

they go great with frightened rabbit... good band.

[poptartjen]

WWPJ are playing a bunch of tour dates with FR this autumn in the U.S. along with The Twilight Sad.

[distortedlullaby33]

Love the passive aggressiveness reflected in the song. Yet again, another band I don't mind having in my roster of young Scottish indie rock. Seems to fit perfectly in my shuffle with Twilight Sad and Frightened Rabbit.

[iiswellconfused]

Yeah Scottish music seems to be in a good position at the moment. Part from Glasvegas, they suck....

It's certainly in a better state than Irish music anyway, we're stuck with dross like the Script an the Coronas. The only half decent up and coming band that's made any dent on the non-underground scene we have at the moment are Fight Like Apes :(

[Mushman34]

You're right, Glasvegas are fucking dire, and the worst part is when they popped up every Radio 1 DJ jumped on them claiming them to be the most original band of whenever, and the only band doing whatever at the moment, leading the majority of people to immediately accept them as a model of the current alternative scene in Glasgow... *boke*.

[samjones0528]

like the vid aswell

[samjones0528]

I really like this!

[Pondus101]

So good! Can't wait for the album. Keep it up WWPJ
