I hated the post-Libertines punk rock scene that came out of London at this time. The majority of the bands were just Doherty worshippers and Nancy Spungen wannabes. It was depressing to live through; talentless assholes boasting constantly about "smoking crack with Pete". Horrible, ugly times. Art Brut always stood out to me because they were different - they seemed more genuine and more honest. They seem like they're into playing music, not just image.
im so glad they wrote a song about forming a band... now they should maybe make some real music. otherwise... its not really a band is it? its just a bunch of pricks talking about how they formed a band...
@JoshRobertson142 he just has the ability to hear, and anyone with that ability can easily tell that Art Brut is one of the shittiest bands out there. No talent whatsoever. They make Tenacious D seem fucking relevant for fuck's sake
"its not irony, and its not rock and roll, its just shit and out of tune... its just talking to the kids, and singing about still being in love with 16yr olds i went out with 20 years ago"
on a separate note, at what point did you talk to the kids any more than any of the REAL, GOOD bands that play DECENT and LISTENABLE indie music?
Congratulations, you formed a band, now if you can just learn to write a song you can maybe make it somewhere. LOL.
@mintaz1602 learn to write a coherent sentence in English. You're an embarrassment and proof that people who listen to art brut are almost defiantly malformed and mentally retarded in some way.
@abluefuzz who the fuck are toby kieef and reba? more bands stared by Eddie Argos? Doesnt he start a new band like every week based on a new funny inside joke he thought of while on tour in some super cool place with his new girl friend? And by girlfriend i mean awkward romance that has already friend-zoned him but he still tags along and its really weird and lame but kind of sad so they let him do it? cool, ill go check them out. sounds like some great music to listen to.
@hoppybhoy71 How can you hate the Stone Roses? Their secound CD was better than their first but both are great! You have to admire the guitar work at least!
@hoppybhoy71 I understand that, I respectfully disagree with his opinion. I do like his music as well however and his views on The Stone Roses change none of my opinion on his music being good.
sorry you inconsiderate fucks why don't you try writing aosng that's actually good just because you think mcfly are a agood rock band and you think jo whiley actually knows what she is talking about

if a band tries humour than actually be funny.
Otherwise it just comes across as "we cant write a decent tune but we arent funny either, so we basically should bury ourselves alive and never make another song ever again" type fair....

Of course, he later stated people should stop listening to people in bands, because people in bands are drunk, but that was later, so...
