Knives At Noon - Violins and Violence

[noncontradiction]

20 people have a different taste in music and my panties are getting all bunched up.

[SOUNDSMADcom]

Featured this on a new site SOUNDSMAD com. Check it out!

[SpadeHeaven]

I found the hipster-part of youtube!

[Raki2009]

I don't get why people dislike songs like this. If you don't like what you hear, change to an other song. But it's no need to dislike a song, it's not bad, u just don't like it.

[VG30DETTPERFORMANCE]

@Raki2009 The disling button is to show that you don't like. It doesn't mean the song is bad so it's ok to click the Dislike button, no ?

[noncontradiction]

@VG30DETTPERFORMANCE Yes.

[SchmuelCom]

anyone else notice the teeth at 0:11 ?

[ihatekoolaid14]

i'm on the weird music video side of youtube again... and yet, i can't stop listening...:)

[getRAWKED]

why do i feel so selfish with bands i become infatuated with

[scooterpohue92]

Generic comment about the poor musical taste of those who down-voted this song

[TheMarkerss]

im tired of looking at comments and all i see is desperate people fishing for likes and thumbs up like its a confidence boost or something. your comments are stupid and not witty in any way shape or form, stop!

[cymballsonvideo]

@TheMarkerss I wanted to thumb you up, but that would seem kind of out of place.

[RACKEMDADDY]

this band reminds me of "The Bravery"

[sugarfreaky]

someone have the lyrics?

[timcouch7]

@sugarfreaky see about 10 posts below...

[TheIndieMusique]

This is damn good song!

[Ipwntouch1]

17 people just decided to be an honest person and say that they disliked this song even though they would be the minority. if you have a problem with that then maybe you should go form a society where everyone looks and acts the same and there is no diversity, because without diversity this band right here, that you like, would not exist. so please calm down

[grabyourgat]

@Ipwntouch1 What I hate are the people that try to be something different every month, and if they hear music that month doesn't match their current image, they feel like they have to hate it in order to feel more [insert monthly music scene here].

[antonpearson]

love how contradicting the top two comments are

[alubabunny]

good

[Snakepull]

J'aime ça !

[syahirahsazali]

I'm crying. Tears of joy.

[iillyyia]

[closeyournose]

I love how whenever someone new dislikes this, the most liked comments become obsolete.

[1angelmiike]

REMENBER IT!

[closeyournose]

@1angelmiike Are you serious?

[XoXokiwibabeXoXo]

I LOVE THIS BAND! They are shit LIVE! :DD

[lodnartaer96]

[hlpmeplz22]

[narazarth]

NECRO!

[thejwgray]

(((p[ ^=^ ]q))) LISTENING TO THIS ALL DAY

[iillyyia]

wow i accidently found this and im fuckin obsessed

[Disturbingkristee]

@connnielovely I would but here in New Zealand we're not allowed to use Mediafire and stuff anymore as illegal downloading is banned :/ Sorry love.

[Pipehitting]

@Disturbingkristee That is refreshingly good news. Why would you steal music? Support the bands that supply you with their good music - dont steal from them.

[Disturbingkristee]

@Pipehitting Yes, of course it's good, but everybody downloads illegally unless you can afford not to..

[Pipehitting]

@Disturbingkristee You mean people cant afford the buck fifty to buy it on itunes?

[OoOxChibbeexOoO]

Me likee (＾ｰ^)ノ

[EvaHardFi]

Oh yeah the best song I've heard this week! It could have been the best of the month but the Red Hot Chili Peppers have released their new album this month ! Haha

[MrCexelby]

9 people have a different taste in music and I am completely OK with that.

[Mrfantasticfoxx]

Its been a year since i heard this song lol nice...

[ValenciaLLC]

Second best group from NZ, IMO. First is Flight of the Conchords, even though they're the third best folk group in NZ.

[TheDjFEW]

merci NZ for all news discoveries from PARIS

[privitpilot101]

i love clicking on music videos with hardly any views and them turning out AWESOME

[KalebWinefield]

Isnt This The Song On The Telecom Ad In NZ?

[tallpoppyradar]

I am sick of dance punk so it's lucky these guys aren't that!

[calskateboards]

sick of dance-punk?

[CrisVidBlog]

Santa Claus Walk in the Moon :O

[ferankferd]

you guys just sound like the killers

[tallpoppyradar]

@ferankferd

And Youth Lagoon sound like Sigur ros, still good though!

[doyouWantsomepanda]

@ferankferd Are you partially tone deaf ?

[lickmywhaaa]

@doyouWantsomepanda no, just deaf. 

[Eyepiercings]

@ferankferd i suggest you listen to them again. 

[dudette383]

11:12 <3 i love them

[featheredmusic]

wow wow what is this???? I LOVE IT, buying their record NOW!

[alexjgoughfnar]

I was totally bigging you guys up to some hipsters recently.

[richards912]

7 people have no ears

[RaunchyLobster]

@richards912 you can't dislike something you haven't heard.

[jibran45]

@richards912

9 :)

[Selvec]

Why is it that NZ music is always ten times better then the popular boring sounding shit bought out by the rest world, yet is the last to get attention?

[screemimi]

YEAHHHHHH NEW ZEALAND FTWWW !

[Dennya192]

thumbs up if the android ad brought you here hahahaha

[courtney1805]

@Dennya192 Yes!! Hahaha xD I cracked up when I read that

[SuperKateg]

The guy....on keys...OMG!

[tallpoppyradar]

This has to be about a musician/scenester and the instrument he chooses to hide himself behind, whether people want to hear him play or not I'm guessing. Then the woman he relies on for inspiration leaves him in the end when the beat changes.(off you go on the plane, never to be seen again). Actually better than I thought it was once you see it written out, that is unless I've totally over analysed this.

[F0ndu]

@tallpoppyradar That's a cool analysis, there ain't no 'right' one for any song really, you just interpret it according to your own temperament and experience. :D

[timcouch7]

Thanks everyone for your comments, see our FB: facebook /knivesatnoon for more stuff - Tim.

[docotorganja]

[mywildlove93]

[SQUEEZEMYBUNS]

[F0ndu]

[iTapThat4Sure]

[SpoonsForks]

lyrics plz

[SpoonsForks]

lyrics plox

[timcouch7]

@SpoonsForks Are you to arty to drink cheap wine at the party downtown Conversating in the shadows sipping cappuccinos heads down The sugar violins the sugar's in the violins The sugar violins the sugar's in the joy it brings He needed his mistress to play his violence Salivating in the shadows sipping cappuccinos eating brownies No clap but every cloud No clap means no joy from crowd He needed a mistress to play his violence I can see you dreaming I can feel you breathing

[SpoonsForks]

lyrics plox

[PeepLilBo]

Woooooo!! Noice beats form my local Dunners, you boys are great :)

[pumpkinhead1977]

Awesome video. You know this aint shot in a set...it's shot on White Island, NZ! That island is constantly changing. Good on them for having balls to shoot there. Awesome.

[prettywildgurl]

This song puts faith into Kiwi music. I love this.

[dannebrads52]

they are amazing!

[HeeeeellNo]

@JkTp08 apart from not using telecom, liking or caring about it haha i guess so. you win.

[alessaapathy]

Wish i had the lyrics to this. Cant find them anywhere

[zeroxero111]

[EbonyObsessive]

planet rotorua

[Sionjade88]

<3 THIS SONG!!!

[JkTp08]

Stupid Telecom ruined the song!! Whenever I listen to it, all I can think about are people in a car with a phone >:-(

[HeeeeellNo]

@JkTp08 atleast it's getting them more recognition. the telecom ad is where i first heard it and now its playing in my car 24/7 haha. :P

[JkTp08]

@HeeeeellNo So you're like a mini telecom ad yourself! xD



[shivasmetimbres]

doom pop KAN call it

i like it . i like it alot

[LHdownunder]

haha their teeth are pretty fucked up

[fatboy226]

This song is so deep, and the video just goes perfectly, especially at the end

[marisamicma57]

wow those were really blue eyes

[RealTime510]

Try BAN, MOD GIRLS, fantastic tune!

[1990jason1990]

I thought it was about the music.....not the band members.

[Ripekah]

i new this was ah mean song wen the put it on the ads on tv hahaha :)

[Fredd312]

7 people are gonna get knifed at noon

[TheFabiannz]

pure pop and showponying (watched live performance). went to school with the lead singer, i thought he was an arrogant prick at the time, maybe all the knives at noon turned him into less of a wanker but i doubt it. HI TIM, please stop with the music and follow your obvious calling in politics with all the other soulless zombies. You never had the chance to 'sell out' as you were never 'in'. Your local following is predominantly semi-retarded first year girls and they dont count as alternative.

[tallpoppyradar]

@TheFabiannz Is this what youtube has come to seriously? Personal attacks like that just exhibit to everybody you have flaws in your life and personality. Maybe see someone about that caged up hate you have for somebody you probably just didn't understand yeah? Life's short and the world is beautiful, cheer up and don't let it pass you by.

[TheFabiannz]

@tallpoppyradar Im afraid that yes thats what youtube has come to. He was a bully at school when i knew him so hes had some personal attacks coming his way via karma. Disliking certain people or things exhibits personality flaws? Seriously? Going by that the perfect personality would be one that agrees with everything and likes everyone a.k.a an idiot! Not saying i dont have personality flaws, in fact i have a colourful array but i never verbally bullied disabled people, for example...

[tallpoppyradar]

@TheFabiannz Yeah ok point taken, but I'm going to stay out of this one. Peace.

[justWatchin97]

@SuperChrissycat what did you think of the social network?

[mgmtfollower]

@justWatchin97 well i can say i loved it! not that im SuperChrissycat.... its worth seeing!

[dottyspotwot1]

[selGdemparamtwilight]

[Padboy]
