Johnny Foreigner- Eyes Wide Terrified

[rangerbylaw]

steve aoki bloc party uses this song or what??

[IndoorCampout]

Seriously, if you think this is emo... Yeah, they are similar to Los Campesinos! in sound, but campesinos despise the post-libertines 4-member guy bands, which is why they like johnny foreigner, because they aren't stereoptyicaland they have Kelly. In fact, they've played at several gigs and festivals alongside each other. And please, don't brand it indie, I don't shop at Jack Wills and stand around with my starbucks coffee so people will like me...

[smoke108]

waka waka waka?

[santonegro619]

shout out to awesome noise that emo boys and girls make out and make love to.....if you object i'd beg to differ.....

[savygirl88]

I just found out about this band a few days ago, but this is one of the best songs I've heard in a while. Awesome =)

[xXWeezerXx]

Los Campesinos! shirt on the guy?

"Should have built a wall."

[buyitrideit]

best song ever you guys can all fuck your self's

[johnRambokillu]

QUEER

[DarkMorg6380]

Why so? Cause you dont like it?

[zebs823]

ya, i feel like a complete pussy watching this

get it out of here

[canipokeu]

O.o what the fuck dude, if you don't like it then why are you watching it? There's always room for critizism, but if you can't open your eyes to all types of music, then don't even bother looking for stuff like this. There's a reason why it's called Indie.

[kazgimar]

Good stuff

[asobitarinai]

great band

[Krees86]

I hate it when people compares this band Los Campesinos or Bloc Party. Because musically there not a Twee Pop band or a Post-Punk revival, but more of a Retro 90's Indie rock/Post hardcore band

[AidanChalklin]

Ha, I described them once as 'If Bloc Party had a bastard child with Los Campesinos!, then Johnny Foreigner is born'.

God it's a good combination as well...

[fluffthebunny]

Hmm, I can see the Lost Campesinos! comparison, but not Bloc Party. They're too dancy. Johnny Foreigner are more like Distophia and Los Campesinos!

[Jetsflyfar]

johnny foreigner rocks!!!

but i can't get their cd in germany :'(:'(:'(:'(

[xwotxupxgirlx]

they sound reely gewd, am gna see them at studio 24 wif hundred reasons nd THE VOID!! lol =P shood be gewwd! XD xox

[NationAstray]

He does sound a lot like kele, but these guys are great!

[PSLover722]

Foreigner is AWESOME!! They're going to be on A&E's Private Sessions this Sunday 3/29 at 9 am - you guys should watch! I saw it, but I'm going to watch again and record the music - they sang 5 songs!!

[jmnryan]

did you guys get to get to play with maps & atlases when you was supporting foals last year?

[jimmyprice55]

when he says "talks about confidence"

sounds so like kele from bloc party in their earlier stuff

[joegj666]

This band are pretty much amazingly great

[lovelysk8r]

ew...his voice sounds wierd...the music is good though...it doesn't go with eachother

[cobaine92]

its called being british

haha

[fiachrahackett]

yeah I wasn't sure on the vocals at first but it's much better than some other stuff

it grows on you until you're hooked ....sigh I love this song and keeping the balance and salt peppa and spinderella

[ayseisonfire]

hm.. i wish i was a paper-ghost...

[anabatman92]

This is AMAZING. I have this on my myspace. This song is fucking addictive. mind moi word but WOW :DDDDDD

[helenacadaver13]

i like alexei with blond hair better

[movingalexei]

? my hairs never been blonde ?

[helenacadaver13]

my sister put that i told her to stay off my computer, if anything i think she meant when ur hair was lighter looking like in the salt pepa spinderella video, its my favourite

[Rascalized]

i LOVE this song.

[zizzork]

I dont know why but the singer reminds me of damon albarn

[zizzork]

Whats with the little ghost? i saw it on a guitar in this vid and in salt peppa and spinderella

[ribenaptchoowww]

it's them

[zizzork]

what?

[twosteptwice]

this song is amazing

as is alexei's shirt

x

[ribenaptchoowww]

[twosteptwice]

yes, eden (what?)

[ribenaptchoowww]

or something like that...

[venictos]

[tunegrl]

Johnny Foreigner--lol the name sounds like a porn stars name. cool band though

[fez960]

[tunegrl]

maybe you should douche your shitty little piehole mouth..

[LuolJake9]

You douce'd him back good there (Y) lol

[whatawaster1989]

they are fuckin sick

[xOvedie]

I'm kinda in love with the monster on the guitar! <3

[Skydigibeef]

anyone else reckon the start of the song sounds like Pavement but dead young?

[dani97072]

i love them! this song is great!

[caelover101]

reminds me of a less twee los campesinos!. this makes me want to dance insanely.

[XxCeriseStarlightxX]

yay, i agree!! but los campesinos aren't really that twee if you listen to their lyrics xD pretentious maybe.

but the girl from los campesinos is SO PRETTY! aleksandra.

[caelover101]

i agree! so is violin girl. and tht guy in my year in lists who says before at 0:49 seconds! I LOVE HIM!!! he almost replaces the lead singer of MGMT in my heart! ha ha, no one will ever (EVER) replace him, but tht guys cute too!! hey this audio preveiw thing... did they seal this from tht one xkcd comic? lol

[XxCeriseStarlightxX]

[XxCeriseStarlightxX]

YESH! I'VE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE for it!! but tis not in record shops. ugh. internet, i need you...

[caelover101]

[XxCeriseStarlightxX]

ah yes, i have a habit of forgetting your american-ness. shorry.

you technically just called nevermind crap and spat on sgt. pepper xD

no, no one has heard of them over here...well, no one i happen to know anyways ^^

YOUR FRIENDS HAVE HOBO POSTERS? PLZ CAN I MEET THEM??? lol

[caelover101]

AND NO!!! stranger danger to the max! we dont like no BRITS on our turf, ya hear? so go stuff an eel pie or sumtin!! (im jking!!!)

[XxCeriseStarlightxX]

lol

you have enough brits over there..you have two of the *shudder* spice girls, but as long as they're not here i guess!

i only know sgt. pepper because my grandad sings 'when i'm 64' round the house and so they bought me the CD. it is good though!

[movingalexei]

right, you scary scary people, gareth sings in los campesinos, i sing in this band. he's more floppy and im more sweaty. and both our bands have stuff out in the us, they're on arts and crafts and we're on nettwerk. kthxbyeeeeeee

[XxCeriseStarlightxX]

and you think we're scary?

thank you though xD

[InsterNameHere]

I saw you on MTVU and I was just so amazed by Salt Peppa and Spinderella. You guys are amazing. Although, I do have to say you do have a "meerly" similar voice to Gareth's voice. Keep up the good work!!

[Venom7891]

....yes you are very sweaty saw u last night at the duchess york. you guys rocked out! x

[ribenaptchoowww]

the guy you love is called neil.

[caelover101]

thanx for the info!

Cute Boy In Green Hoodie, thy name is Neil. XD

[maybefryle]

love this song.

and speaking of los campesinos!,

the phrase on alexei's shirt is a nod to

"we are all accelerated readers".

since we became accelerated readers,

we never leave the house

you should have built a wall

you should have built a wall

[fuzfighter]

Great song. I really like the male/female voices blend in this, great indie feeling. Sounds abit like a swedish band called Niccokick, although this one's even better

[J36kching]

I LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT :]

[wiltshirewoomble]

Saw this band at the Sugarhill festival. Walked out to around 20 people but put on a great show. By the time they left many more where watching and dancing, good times. Great band

[ViciDynamite]

i saw them at hurricane and NOONE knew who they were and there were only about 100 people watching them at like 1 in the afternoon but they were just about the BEST band of the entire festival :):):)

[jeroen2006]

A want to play this song SO badly, I suppose nobody got the tabs. I can't tab myself, I'm tonedeaf or something.

I love this song so much.

[Takarafire]

haha most random ending ever.

awesome!!!!!!! :D

[CoolJack2]

After truck fest the singer was on the same train as me sat on the floor next to me and my friend between carriages looking like he was about to throw up, at truck he got wasted before performing and decided to stay over night and the rest of the band left him lol, I think he regretted it the next day.

[movingalexei]

wow. is this one of yr more popular anecdotes?

[CoolJack2]

yeah, I hate my life

[mattysen]

los campions are awsome as well, hmm i dunno who are better. the guy in this is probley one or the best new gutarist out there

[PancakeOverlord]

Los Campesinos are great, but they seem to be a little bit TOO upbeat. Johnny Foreigner reminds me a lot of them.

[starkie1203]

i worked with this band at a gig i was djn at. had never heard of them, but they were absolutely awesome. They werent high on the bill at all, but were easily the best of the night. better than kele from bloc party. I really want jf to go far.

[KENPSTOK]

this guy sucks. emo trash

[brummiestu]

How is this emo?

[maskorpius]

que pendejo

[timangf]

epic fail you sucky ignorant. :]

[FCPaufUror]

Keep watching your sex videos you deaf

[FCPaufUror]

Meaning

KENPSTOK

[DaAliminator]

intro suspiciously like shady lane by pavement aswell but tbh pavement was perfect indie so whos complaining

[iwassparta]

listen to gold soundz by pavement and tell me the intro's don't sound similar, both in guitar and vocals.

still love jofo though :)

[kdub10009]

yeah i mean, it's soooo much like a malkmus vocal.

[xitsnotwhatyouthinkx]

I saw them at hurricane, and have been in love with them since! They are fab!!!! x

[wayoutmckay]

I love this song and this band!!! Amazing:)

[parkash911]

fantastic

[teleman996]

reli like it jus ordered the new album, the m/f is done in a similair way 2 the pixies which is a great thing to be hearing again in fact i'm not sure it sounds a million miles away which is def a gd thing to say again lol, GREAT band!

[danylendmea]

先の読めないアレンジ展開が素晴らしい

[kdub10009]

Wow someone listened to a lot of Pavement/Steve Malkmus growing up it seems (and that's a good thing).

[2minuteshate]

reminds me of when idlewild were amazing. such a great song/band/album

[dgp1982]

awesome little number!! saw them supporting forward russia in dundee - bit of a boozy one.

[SophieeeSoap]

i instantly loved this band first time i heard them !

might be going to see them soon :D

yays!

they need to record some more songs though!

and they're near impossible to download atm

:/

but other than that...

awsome (Y)

[mattysen]

one of the top tunes of 08' atm! fucking love it!

[spikeinrehab]

This song is my life xD

[timangf]

"your life is a song, but not this one!"

haha! =D

[komlar]

i saw them in nando's on wednesday

[Ciaran646]

really well directed video.

[rymon8]

love the tapping lick at 2:40...genius

and the bassist is stunning

[lders]

VERY SICK SONG!

needs to be put on the myspace page though maybe?

[rymon8]

couldn't agree more!

[nick3412andahalf]

i like the blue things.... :D

[muccy23]

They yellow one is better.

[my9impression2me]

Going to see them on the 10th of July. (Yeah)

[BritishEnglishBoy]

Fucking Brilliant Song.

Cant believe ive only heard about these guys last nite on Zane.

This is certainly this weeks TUNE!!! Going to be big... deserve to be..... fucking awesome song

YOur Life is a song but not this one

[13678043]

I heard em on Zane too. Was blown away. Was on the bus down to Dublin and as I crossed the border this was the last song I heard before Radio 1 cut out and I hada listen to Irish radio. Next song I heard was Journey. I nearly fucking shot myself.

[bbqsauceboy]

these guys will (or at least should) be big

miles better than los campesinos

[JDizzle5978]

I think tommo2202s comment basically sums up Johnny Foreigner. Evn though I still like Los Campesinos, just doesn't compare to JoFo!

[tommo2202]

A better version of los campesinos

[heresyourfuture]

makes me smile the whole time. brilliant tune...

[ihateyou4everandever]

I've kept listening for 10 times.Still brilliant.

[bennyboy606]

thats bass is soo good!:D

[xsxaxzxzxix]

LOL@THE END BIT.

[bennyboy606]

WOW

[perfectsellout]

[FamousOnTheInternet]

[benrausch]

AAAAAGGGHHHHH!!! The climax of this song is just too great!
