WU LYF — Split It Concrete Like The Colden Sun God

[ToolsnFire]

What's up with the title of this vid?  What's the name of this song, Spitting Blood?

[camdenam]

Vocals sound just like AWOLNATION

[Gordonuk123]

This is Spitting Blood I'm sure...... Wu LYF are one of kind.

[donaghylewis]

spitting blood? 

[ctmag]

Every time I watch this video I get inspired to save earth from evil.

[indieballoon]

This is a beautiful song.

[Neverthebest722]

I love the vocals. Playing music isn't really something you do for other people, it's something you do for yourself. If it makes you feel good then you should do it, even if you don't have classical vocal training or years of private guitar lessons. The rawness of his voice just makes me feel like it means something to him. I'll take passion over uniform any day.

[BrittishChiz]

The only thing as good as this song, is this video.

[ThatThompson]

Vocals remind me of Planes Mistaken for Stars, music couldnt be further...

Awesome band, awesome record!

[UniqueGamerz]

From the depths of Ramsbottom.

[kanyaisgood]

go tell fire to the mountain overall is pretty solid album, but like @hello2864 said, the lead vocals do sound very contrived; for me, that takes away from the music.

[tapedeckghost4]

that was awful, and these fags need to give up on music.

[cindynunyun]

@tapedeckghost4 You're a fag... fag. 

[samg013]

@tapedeckghost4 you need to give up on commenting on videos you don't even like.

[SirFlapalot]

@tapedeckghost4 no.

[josmcg]

@tapedeckghost4 I agree with the guy who wants to puke on you, I want to puke at you, fuck off back under your bridge troll.

[indieballoon]

@tapedeckghost4 Idiot.

[aesop2020]

People fighting over music makes me want to throw up in my own mouth

[cindynunyun]

@aesop2020 YOu make me want to throw up all over you.

[cindynunyun]

It does NOT sound like the Knife or At the Drive In. It sounds NOTHING like early Modest Mouse. You stupid idiots just like things in your neat little packages. If you can't define and classify it... you can't even conceive of a world in which it exists. Get a blow hole. BLow them stupid classifications out your damn head.

[feelingthesubstance]

@cindynunyun well played

[MrBeatnik18]

@cindynunyun PERFECTLY SAID

[ToolsnFire]

@cindynunyun interestingly, my housemate just remarked that they(WU) sounded a bit like early Modest Mouse. No joke, and I had no idea about any similarity, I'm barely familiar with Modest Mouse music. But I can hear a bit of distinctive similarity in the instrumentation, not the vocal style.

[hello2864]

The lead vocals sound so contrived!

[MJAS93]

Got tickets to see them in Manchester!

[TheForloco4]

unreal band 

[medeaG4L]

meet modest mouse and edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros as siamese twins.

[swanstep]

Interesting band w/ intriguing vids. I've seen their name around all year, but haven't bothered to check them out at all until now. Better late than never I suppose.

[MoracularWorld]

1. the fuck is this video

2.i just found my new favorite band

[Capriciou5]

the first seen with people coming out of the water reminds me of toy story

[snozbanger7]

@Capriciou5 What a stupid comment

[jason1405111]

@snozbanger7 not as pointless and stupid as your reply you fucking tosser. Bet you're jewish aswell

[snozbanger7]

@jason1405111 SNORE did someone say something boring? Put your fanny away. Bet you're tall and haggard

[Capriciou5]

@snozbanger7 you can suck my dick. i was high and i think i was talking about this /watch?v=wBifEH5QAj4#t=00m41s

[dave1983teledyski]

same plusy

[nedible88]

this song is called spitting blood

[MrScu8a]

Fukn love this band!! Mesmerising...

[paradisecity030]

ON REPEATTTTTTTTTTTTT

[NimLeeGuy]

If only..........................­......

[iraprusia]

reminds me of the old modest mouse

[StaffanHalle]

@iraprusia Not even close mate

[SkateforTribe]

Any body know of a good torrent?? 

[Mateu89]

@SkateforTribe You can get them at spotify

[Eliu5564]

The capitalistic pigs on the horizon.

[cerysdcat]

toronto show on nov 12/11 was amazing fun!!!

[gdjiiiiica]

25 people need to listen to this song better!

[Ektasii]

Today I read that "the best way to describe his vocals is as if At the Drive In and Grizzly Bear got together and traded jobs for a day" . Hell yes!

[venom326]

@Ektasii it's more like animal collectie but yes

[ZoinkyFilms]

thumbs up if anyone saw the weird looking animal at 2:13

[lexlen1]

Live webcast of WU Lyf from Paris tomorrow night on arteliveweb com

[orbittka123]

Im so so so happy that I can listen that kind of music in XXI century!!!!

THANK YOU WU LYF

[adrums1999]

@orbittka123 I agree x 10000000000000000000000000000 million :o)

[6skazi9]

saw them last night at teh brudenell in leeds, was insane, they covered wicked game by chris isaace for their encore. such a good cover choice. suited them perfectly

[sora41333]

My lyrics( i know it's not right): And I'm sitting on gloves, sitting on gloves. Want some god, want some god? Sitting on gloves, sitting on gloves. Want some god, want some god? (x3) Oh, now underwater blood fest. East side up. No matter what i said. Sitting on the water, on the shore. Got stuck there and lonely. Ooh she wants a hot man. Sometimes my deep blue eyes and i have it on my head fine. And now we have to heaven and heaven is there! Oh love until you drown wont lye down there.

[eventsartists2011]

Reminds me of this film called Black Biscuit, freaky :)

[skyperdinno24]

I'll be honest, I half came here expecting a super indie hip-hop, Foals and Phoenix-sampling Ghostface Killah take-off. This was much better.

[mycreativityrules]

They remind me of little comets because I never now what they are saying but I would no longer listen to this band because I am Christian and I cannot listen to a band that stands for lucifer. Thank you and good bye WU LYF and if you ever change your belief get at me =)

[snakeweirdo]

@mycreativityrules Being a Christian is not very creative, perhaps you should change your name.

[Dyltreeno]

@mycreativityrules dude they put the name in one of their titles. theyre pretty normal people, not satanists, as everyone in your "religion" brainwashes you to believe at the first mention of the name.

[petarpwnsuall]

@mycreativityrules dumbest shit i've heard all day, no offense.

[rhyscox1993]

26th October.

Fuck yes.

[BabyZora]

Perfect Columbus Day celebratory song.

[DeusExMachina702]

People give Wu Lyf a hard time because their questionable and often inaudible lyrics, but there are screamo bands who do the same thing but lack this amount talent.

[joamarsan]

Genialsss!!!!

[hannersification]

How the fuck is this English?

[0Zered0]

@deosin : Go tell Fire to the Mountain ;)

[deoisin]

WHAT ALBUM/SINGLE/EP IS THIS ON CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE :(

[IndieRaver]

@deoisin it's called Spitting Blood now.

[omfgxphoebe]

This is proper weird.

[paintlickersgraffiti]

Seen these guys a few years ago in Manchester when they were nothing playing in a church like building, the emotion you get from them while they play live is amazing. Cant believe that they have got so far and still not sell outs :) naugh spinnaugh bleh to you guys keep doing what your doing.

[olddirtydoggy]

Noise for hipsters

[BruisedEyeSockets]

@olddirtydoggy And great noise it is. :)

[stevobath]

Liz Fraser was singing like this over 30 years ago! Nothing New.... So listen too Cocteau Twins

[DoubleYellowLinesUzu]

These guys remind me of The Maccabees. Dunno why. Go listen to them and see if you feel the same .. :P

[Zoomzoomzoom1995]

Not even arsed I really like it.

[KickThemAsians]

@scj00001 VAGINA WOLF

[mrlovett100]

what album is this form? :)

[bananaaddictedpirate]

at first this just sounds weird, but then when you get into it its really good :)

[scj00001]

Check out this band AVIARIES: aviaries.bandcamp.com.

It's WU LYF before their singers got laryngitus.

[rwm89]

@scj00001 no it isn't

[lalelulallo]

@scj00001 i prefer the laryngitus sound

[thepowerout]

bob dylan wrote propaganda songs

[oeyvind93]

Bob Dylan is a better songwriter ;) No one cares about lyrics anymore, not just this band. There is few bands that make people laugh or cry anymore. This is party party- generation

[85mariapatricia]

@oeyvind93 no just a generation that realized the futility of the fight. "hippies" were cool and effective till they all got high and wandered off. what did the sixties ever accomplish: a little dent. which created the neo conservative backlash that ive known most of my life. as for music only being emotional through lyrical content id have to say i disagree with that also.

[SheHerGirl]

This song gives me more energy than caffeine

[imayellowfellow]

these guys rejected michelle gondry fuuckkkers.

[ridethisguy]

This is my favorite kind of anarcho punk.

[NESguerilla]

It's good to see horrible boring ass anarcho-punk is still getting attention in 2011. Sounds about as good as shit spraying on the inside of a toilet.

[adrianbeloo]

@NESguerilla Anarcho punk. LMAO. That's exactly what this is. Yes siree /sarcasm.

[charlessale]

@adrianbeloo lolololooolololol NESguerilla tried so hard to be a mad cunt. It didn't go so well.

[jmd620]

@NESguerilla it's good to see you adding to the view count! spread the word!

[yackoftheyear]

@NESguerilla

anarcho-punk? I'm afraid you're wrong. try again.

[trabubu83]

un sonido desgarrador, me encanta, aunque no lo entienda. Por lo visto los angloparlartes tampoco lo pueden hacer. Si alguién tiene las letras que las suba.

Nice sound, i like it but where is the letter songs? somebody has the letters?

[CensoredSounds]

@thinedoor2 That's just the kind of true comment everyone should be voting up.

[JUGAopet1]

Fookin' great, start revolution, better than 1968, must!! Nothing is happening, free yourself S L A V E S united brake NWO chains, NO nations!! NO religions!!

saY NO NO NO 2 divide ET impera !! FUCK corporates from D.C., London & Vatican, fuck them for EVER. "Western world" UNITE with Chines & Moslims.

[Kebell118]

oh so are these the latest shite NME overrated indie fashion bands sponsored by Topman?

[luckysilviano]

@Kebell118 Can you actually listen to a band without keeping in mind which site rated them high and which didn't, who says they suck, who says they rock ? You are such a sheep.

[wojcia14]

Zajebiste!! ;)

[LukeMcClarkzee27]

fucking hell, i love diss song.

[drusef]

Google must be exploding from all the people entering "WU LYF LYRICS"

[MisterLoschi]

@drusef I did just that before I came here.

[rogerexplosion]

Literal lyrics: Naugh spinnaugh bleh, spinnaugh bleh. Rohsu gaugh, rohsu gaugh. Spinnaugh bleh, spinnaugh bleh. Rohsu gaugh, rohsu gaugh (x3). Naugh houghjemoken blieanaugh glegh. Sweet tah hoe. Don't matter wha-on segh.  Steel-whagh on jeaugh. Etc

[yackoftheyear]

@rogerexplosion oh, but don't you like them then?!

[rogerexplosion]

@yackoftheyear

No, I like 'em just fine. Having a bit of fun is all ;)

[jasperkabbani]

@rogerexplosion hahhahahahahahahahaha

[Davidbra1996]

@rogerexplosion emotional expression!!!



[omfgxphoebe]

@rogerexplosion Lol. That just reminded me of nigel thornberry.

[KSaebinMusic]

@rogerexplosion hahahahahahha

[bcboncs]

@rogerexplosion

Steel-whagh artichoke*

[ToolsnFire]

@rogerexplosion Is that Gaelic? :{/>

[diskochimp]

Oh dear.

[oliireland]

saw them last weekend in manchester absolutely quality!

[chaarbie]

No. Absolutely awful.

[peevag14]

this isnt on their album, anyone know where to download?

[comehomenow]

@peevag14 It's on their album. Called "Spitting Blood."

[lukeyouknoww]

Its good that so many people comment on the vocals, because I think that exactly what WU LYF intended to make something that people would talk about because its never been done before

[sudokuwkroku]

music great, but vocals to me are awful ;/

[JUGAopet1]

me likeS 2, saw tonight BBC2, arti & fresh; Great vid btw (wishFULL thnkng)

[DeltaDiseased]

what I like most about them is the artwork, the music's good. Quite good, but I don't really like it so much as other that I've listened. thinedoor2 has an essential point.

[TheFingerbang1]

Sounds like a badly recorded Surfer Blood B side. Fuckin yawn.

[androiddanger]

Is this a joke?

[quaecky]

Fresh sound. Me likes



[bluebandit87]

where did you get the title from? O.o

[LimeSunglasses11]

i just saw them live like an hour ago at the montreux jazz festival

[quagmire77777]

I can't find this song on their album :(

[westbrookwins]

@quagmire77777 it is. it's called spitting blood, track 6

[sirvidia]

I JUST GOT A TATTOO - WU LYF 4 LYF!!!!!!!!!

[lakejautman]

@sirvidia pics or it didn't happen

[andrewdfarley]

Love this band and album. Tremendous stuff.

[stevendanieldodson]

@Pandatory

where are the 1 million views? hehehehehe

[fhf]

What a band!



[descala2]

what the hell does this mean i dont understand this music. no disrespect but i need help, I wanna be able to appreciate this type of music but I cant even understand the lead singer. he doesnt have a good voice. HELP

[ybrik222]

@descala2

If you're trying to get into new kinds of music, maybe this group is a little to high-concept of an entry point. What type of music are you referring to, exactly ("this type" is a little vague, and this band is rather unique)?

[Yavimaya666]

@descala2

Maybe stick to pop bitches and U2?

your not meant to understand the lyrics like mainstream music, his voice is fine, its the way its meant to be.

[thinedoor2]

@descala2 There's nothing wrong with not having a taste for "this type" of music or any other. It's not like there's any deep hidden truth to it; it's just a few guys trying to convey a feeling and reflect their experiences through a common mode of expression. Art and taste is completely subjective and conditioned, and you're no less open-minded or valid a listener for being more receptive to other kinds of sounds and styles.

[HeyYoPistachio]

@thinedoor2 you're right, there is no "hidden truth" to WU LYF- the message is fairly straightforward- but there is deeper meaning. One's ability to not only identify and understand, but to empathize with said message, IS dependent on open-mindedness. Whether you see the members of the band or the message behind their music is only a reflection of yourself; but trust, its more than just a few guys reflecting.

[SirNewt]

@thinedoor2 I definitely agree. Encountering things you don't like is important. It's one indicator that you haven't stopped exploring.

[joamarsan]

Ben dit!! :)

[AisforAdorable]

@descala2

as far as i'm concerned there's mainly liking music or disliking it. i don't understand the lead singer either, but i don't care much. i just feel the music, whether it makes me sad or happy or melancholic. if you don't feel anything by listening to it now, you still won't when you understand it, i think... (no disrespect either)

[biblecanard]

@descala2 so funny i was just thinking the same for weeks, i just couldn't get it.

But then I listened again and again especially 'dirt' and started to get really into it. Can't help you though.. I think it just happens. Like a mail from Hogwarts, you see.

More seriously try to get over the leader singer's voice or at least try not to compare it to some hard metal stuff i couldn't even find a name to. For me it's more like a whisper or the sound of a furious wind. Then it becomes cool. Ta dam.

[TheJoelamouche]

Why is there more and more of violent clip which have nothing to do with this sort of music ? It's a tend that havn't any sense for me...

[aahxzen]

@TheJoelamouche Firstly, your English is awful. Secondly, have you ever taken a moment to question what these violent scenes represent in relation to the music? Also, what is "this sort of music"?

[TheJoelamouche]

@aahxzen

Escuse for my english. To answer you, I don't find in what violence is in relation with this music, and i'll be glad to know your opinion . It's just that, when i listen to a song, i want to feel the sensation it gives me and not to think about how it's composed or any other things. And it should be the same for the video. So, may be you'll say that the end of the clip justifies the violence of the middle, but for me the video have to lead the music.

[TheCarlR]

Beautiful! Just beautiful.

[TheLex1607]

Amazing !!!!!!!!

[TheLex1607]

Amazing Track ! Just discovered you guys :-)

[Neziavothal]

wu lyf clan aint nothin to fuck wit

[spookytrigger]

Give everything a bloody label and you feel better. Hipster means NOTHING! I enjoyed listening and watching this.

[MrKetchell]

Taste is subjective. The beauty of music is if you don't like it, you don't have to listen to it. Everyone complaining that this is 'hipster bullshit', made a choice to watch the video and can now make the choice to never watch it again.

[FoldedTapestry]

classic, if anyone knows it came from Pitchfork, they had to ride off any sort of hard work or care with "hipster". a band makes a full length album that took months of ideas, practice, and motivation. and even more than that, and you stupid faggots ride everything off as "hipster" because of course THAT isn't the most textbook hipster thing you could do, dismiss something because you're fucking threatened as always

[mariob1978]

TOTALLY! THIS IS TOTAL HIPSTER CRAP!

[stephawu88]

this is total hipster crap

[luckysilviano]

@stephawu88 I bet you say to every band that gets a favorable Pitchfork review. You guys are so predictable.

[bejAmir]

WU LYF, my new fav band - nice to meet u. :-)

[olivthetraceur]

Man when i listen at this song i just feel like i'm free

[BizzyBoxx]

This is shitballs.

[Bbenja4]

Incredibly fair. The music sounds like lo-fi, early Kings of Leon with heavy reverb and the vocalists kind of sounds like Future Islands. Nothing earth shattering.

[Devinopps]

@solarwinter86.........yer an idiot. quit getting all hyped up about whats pretentious and whats not. besides, how the fuck are they pretentious?....explaaiin foool
