they're not exceptional but well...they're a good band... i will not hesitate to listen to some of their music at party as an aperitif for even greater stuff later...
@rockpoetDan Your comment is over a year old so sorry for replying but I HAD to mention I thought the same thing and I went looking through comments to see if I was the only one. Weird seeing as how Jefferson Airplane are fucking legends but this song did make me think of them.
they're probably one of the new favorites on my musical talent prospective emerging artists out of the many others such as themselves like the yeah, yeah, yeahs, and some other quasi-similar bands to go as far as to say that the shins or even postal service were in that same bracket. I'm thoroughly impressed
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
great song, it's put together well. But not quite unique in my opinion. They've just combined a few earlier influences with a modern alternative sound.
I saw The Duke Spirit at South by Southwest this past year and they put on one of the greatest performances I have ever seen at South by Southwest. I highly recommend The Duke Spirit.
My God, a real rock band for a change. They have a really cool 60s/80s kind of hybrid sound to them. Most new music doesn't interest me at all, but I can add these guys to the short list of bands that I follow, along with Green Day and Rammstein.
Anybody who likes this should try listening to some Mazzy Star as well.
They got a polite reception as support for Duran Duran in Nottingham last night but they were a decent band in their own right with a good lead singer.
That being said, it's my favorite song right now...Are they touring North America any time soon, with the new album and all?? Something tells me they'd be great live... (Though I'v been disappointed in the past. Cake anyone?)
I just saw The Duke Spirit unleash their Neptune album at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas. In my 17 years of going to South by Southwest The Duke Spirit put on the Best show I had ever seen at the festival. Go See Them!
I don't like......I adore this song, if I could I would melt it, make a Golden Calf and get on my knees everyday before it. I haven't heard the rest of the album but why is people calling this Emo?? Are you guys deaf? If the rest of the album is Emo it would be a bigger deception than when I knew that Shamu was a guy in a costume.
I have been going to South By Southwest for 15 years and just saw The Duke Spirit in 2008. The show was stunning and special. The best performance I have ever seen at South by Southwest. It rivals the SoulHat shows at Liberty Lunch in Austin back in the 90s. By the way the lead singer is mesmerizing. Just a fantastic band.
