The simplest reply to any racist comment on here should be that this is 'indie rock' --> derived from rock n roll --> derived from the blues, which was created by blacks; therefore this is, by default, 'black music'.
Racists, as has always been the case, have no valid argument.
Can the peanut gallery stop chewing cud over the singer's race for ONE fucking second so we can get to a real issue: why does the bass player's tone sound so awful? Is it that hard to get a V4-b, or any amp that doesn't sound like ass garbage?
Life is supposed to be about breaking barriers and changing viewpoints, race doesn't define music, music does. There is no law that says black people can only do this, this and this,
The rules of society shouldn't exist, but sadly they do. Luckily they are changing all the time and maybe one day they won't be any need for talks of race and music.
Good reply and completely true. My favourite punk-rock band is Bad Brains (later called Soul Brains); all members are black.
My favourite metal band (call it "new"-metal if u want) is Sevendust; the singer is too black and was previously an r'n'b singer, and that's what makes the sound of the band special and innovative.
i agree with u im black too and rap got so old and stupid too me it doesnt matter what ur race is music is music, rock is so awsome and it will never get old, and who gives a fuck if a white person likes rap all people are different and like different things i rock DC shoes to school and ride skate board that some people say im trying to be white
His voice is so unique!! I love their first album its the best!

Wow, you kinda have to test your intellect if you even have the nerve to comment that its weird for a black guy to be fronting an indie band.
Honestly-I'm appalled that at this age and century someone could actually say that.

the music possesed Russel, causing him to go into a fit of guitar soloing, to the bemusement of Matt Tong.
