[ninjacommentaries]

[loganarchermusic]

The rhythm section is ridiculously good.

[GhostOfJunglePast]

Starting to think Canada produces some of the best alternative music out there...

[mazthan]

I want the stuff that they're tripping on !

[cccool089]

They Sound amazing LIVE i want to see one of their shows so bad!!!

[hERDoFBAND]

@cccool089

[engineofdoom]

Another finely attenuated INTONARUMORON pick.

/intonarumorondotwordpressdotc­om/

[karazakaton]

they're mad scientist

[theonlyalexoliveira]

Just another killer export from Canada.

You're welcome.

so we're good about Celine and Avril now right?

[DubDubh]

@theonlyalexoliveira Of course... but it might take a few more great bands to make up for Beiber :P

[soJAKEable]

1:24 Yannis Philipakis from foals!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RobMorganVideos]

9 people are twats.

[edmuse2]

holy fuck ... literally.

[willydru]

It must take some serious engineering expertise to produce this type of music with no sequencer, sampler, or programming.

[seeblake]

I just want to get these guys a higher table so they don't have to lean over so far.

[zachyd]

saw them at Treasure Island last year not really knowing what to expect. i had listened to this album briefly though. man, when they started grooving on stage, I realized I was witnessing something special. they are too good, hope to see them again soon! Coachella 2012?

[MachMedia9]

You say Drake, I say Del Tha Funkee Homosapien

You say Lady Gaga, I say Green Day

You say Eminem, I say SLIM SHADY (as in eminems old stuff)

You say Justin Beiber, I say Gorillaz

You say Rihanna, I say Daft Punk

You say U2, I say HOLY FUCK YOU LIKE U2??!!!

[ThatOneBrownKid]

@MachMedia9 people like you annoy me

[ob3ypr1mus]

@MachMedia9

i love it when people make comments like these, especially if they try to argue bands like green day are good.

[pureecstasy]

sickest.

[kasanks]

que dolor de espalda...



[ABSOLUTE0015]

Their music is awesome!

I feel good When I listen to this fantastic music.

[indyfan7798]

[1xCupcakex1]

I am a 13 year old girl and I love experimental music

Holy Fuck are definitely my favourite band ever.

The bass is amazing in this song.

[thesophiazz]

Holy fuck indeed!

[kroyclub]

[BestRockMusics]

Holy Crap On A Cracker!

This Is So Fucking Great!

[nodeviceband]

saw these guys supporting Foals at enmore (Sydney Aus.) They were amazing!! Electronic acts, take note.. this is how you gotta play live!

[5c53eD]

HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!

[5c53eD]

holy fuckin shit...this is fuckin cool I'm dead serious...live performances like this should also happen in the Philippines...this is what I was expecting when Nine Inch Nails came here...this kind of instrumentation...but unfortunately they don't. but I'm not saying they didn't perform well here

[Dannzzx]

0:32 NICE

[rictusgate]

saw these guys in Regina a couple of times - kicked the shit out of my ass, that's for sure . . .

[Nsnick88]

[Eyepiercings]

@alexagoulding AHAHHAHAHAHAH SHARP EYES BRO

[Indymusicisthe11]

how the fuck do u do this stuff

[EyeJustSkateboard]

@Indymusicisthe11 with two tables full of expensive electronics and years of practice.

[galactus1111]

they remind me of the jimi hendrix experience. collaborative music, every performance is different. mad drums. aggressive bass. and finally a rip-roaring wall of melodies. very nice!

[EnjoiCodyHarrison]

Crystal castles > these guys./

[thomasimon]

@EnjoiCodyHarrison so.....?

[somejackball]

[Takeninake]

Help .. I love THIS version of Red Lights, much better than the one on Latin. Anyone know if this is available to buy somewhere, either on a comp or live album? Thanks.

[sampyter]

[backman412]

the guy on the right makes me think of dave grohl. the hair and the beard i guess?

[shaerkhan82]

should smoke some weed with this

[krron]

Their expresion is outstanding :). In the music and on the stage. It's like they live their music and thier music is alive.

I can't rid off this piece out of my mind ;). That is great one!

[MacedonKing]

Torontonians ROCK!  Proud to be Torontonian!

[vivelavidarocka]

I saw them yesterday here in NYC for the first time in the FREE!! Village Voice's Siren Festival. I think they're good. The drummer is absolutely outstanding. And when they included guitars in their compositions, I liked them even more. They played this nice Post Rock tune almost at the end of their set. Magical. If anybody could tell me the name of that song I would appreciated it.

[AmourSynthetique]

@vivelavidarocka The majority of Holy Fuck's stuff could be described as post rock. Perhaps a little more info?

[vivelavidarocka]

@AmourSynthetique No man. They play mostly electronica.

[AmourSynthetique]

@vivelavidarocka @vivelavidarocka I beg to differ. The 'electronica' that HF plays is not traditional electronica. In reality, HF mostly play a form of avant-garde music which contains elements of other genres, like electronica. Just because they use almost purely electronic instruments doesn't mean that they are purely an electronic band.

[AmourSynthetique]

@vivelavidarocka [cont'd] I'd say that their music is a more abstract concoction containing elements of electronica, punk rock, psychedelica, etc Therefore, I'd only refer to HF as an 'experimental' band.

[vivelavidarocka]

@AmourSynthetique Agreed. A very progressive type of electronica. And very experimental indeed. Cheers man.

[kchitthu]

@vivelavidarocka ..it could be Lovely Allen.

[vivelavidarocka]

@kchitthu No it isn't. I was familiar with Lovely Allen before I saw them. The song I'm talking about, was your typical guitar based Post Rock tune. Thanks for answering anyways.

[AmourSynthetique]

@vivelavidarocka Guitar based... Hm... Perhaps 'Stay Lit'? Check that one out, it's the only Holy Fuck song I can think of with a lot of guitar in it.

[vivelavidarocka]

@AmourSynthetique That was it! Thanks a lot!

[AmourSynthetique]

@vivelavidarocka No problem. That's one of my favourites by them too.

[helmsdeep48]

how is this music?

[magicmike323]

@helmsdeep48 Because they are expressing a feeling through rhythm and melody.

[sukkyatlife]

@helmsdeep48 how isn't it?

[TheDrunkenMaster236]

camp will be nuts

[IndieCredFred]

I just You Tubed Holy Fuck because their opening for metric tomarow. Pretty good. In fact I might even want to say "Holy Fuck! Their good!" And i as you all know no one in this history of ever has said that joke before.

[AmourSynthetique]

Just saw them twice this weekend at Glastonbury UK. Whole set was fucking fantastic, and I remember Red Lights and Jungles being particularly outstanding.

[mfish618]

Great group, heard them on Sirius. Good find

[showball1886]

Awwwwesome...really amazing...please keep up the good work

[borlo]

they grew up. YES!!!

[djguil]

amazing!!!

[Insanatey]

I was bored and annoyed so i typed into the google search bar "HOLY FUCK"

this is what came up. I am extremely pleased.

[bibowski]

@Insanatey hahah amazing

[Kissa3]

@Insanatey haha no shit ! I did the exact same thing but just with the YouTube searchbar ! been listening to these tight jellybeans ever since (around 5-6 months ago hah)

[TheFrost3ite]

@Insanatey That is awesome. I found them through Ratatat on last.fm

[elizabethtrip]

@Insanatey HAHAHAHAHAH U ROCK!



[fender0871]

holy fuck!

[gasmask1985]

Damn, I forgot I'm not there and when the song ended I almost started clapping! So brilliant!

[Fredbaty]

Fuck yes! Cannot stop watching this. Too damn groovy.

[Caligula138]

These guys make it fuckin happen!!!

[BadClownSucks]

¤ø„¸¨°º¤ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨¸„ø¤º°¨

¨°º¤ø„¸HOLYFUCK„ø¤º°¨

¸„ø¤º°¨FOREVER`°º¤ø„¸

From U.S.A.!!!

[Samgibson223]

I saw these guys a couple of years ago. Their first EP and 'LP' are fantastic and they were great live. However after having a listen to some of their new material i feel a bit underwhelmed. Lets hope their new album is good

[jokomotion11]

Great music..great vibes....Can't wait see you in Utrecht 11-05-2010.

BigUp for Holy Fuck.

[radioheadfan993]

0:22 EPIC moment!!!

[StuartRobertM]

@radioheadfan993 100% agreed ....

[penner004]

@radioheadfan993

not really lol.

[DAKODA65]

@radioheadfan993 i was thinking wtf? then i saw how he kinda tweaked lmfao

[magicmike323]

it would be awesome if they came back with the opening bass line at 3:00.

[goodrob1985]

@magicmike323 totally agree, i was waiting for it after that build up but alas never happened, great song though

[MMMiller22]

They're sweet. Saw 'em live at Pianos in NYC a few years ago, 2005 actually.

One of the guys was pulling strips of tape through a playhead, adding effects... coolness. Contact mics on various devices... excellent.

[thenovelideas]

this was the best show i saw at sxsw!

[MadDogyyDog]

i think i like it..

[sfetnic]

i want to sing with you

[sfetnic]

i am ioana .......i want to sing with you ,i m a romanian girl

[Dhikadc]

love it

[ZuLiIiIi]

Is that Yannis from Foals in the background (you can really see him @ 1:22) ?

[raymondScales]

I see what u mean but I can't tell anyway I love foals their new album is going to be great

[13b1cdw8g]

a macbook with garage band would take up a lot less space

[guiltengine85]

@13b1cdw8g And be a lot lamer to watch.

[lukee1111]

Live techno/house with real drums and a real bass player....kinda cool. Some more singing would make it much better.  Maybe a few female back-up singers too.

[Akathist]

Had the sickest beginning but by the end I was just sick of it. This could have been touched up with stronger melody lines or even singing.

[chalkies]

I'm so lucky to have seen these people live. Kind of sucked that at every minute a clever drunk guy screamed "Holy Fuck!" though. haha

[kurtsoto]

great

[HeyJaw]

This is pretty cool but I'd only be able to take so much of it...especially under the influence.

[xdyingfetusx69]

You are a poon this would be fuckin awesome under heavy psychoactive influence....... I would love it.
