Loads of energy - imagine if they played jazz. It's encouraging to see punks adopting jazz instruments, though. A few lessons in harmony, rhythm and melodic invention and it might be the next big thing. At the moment it's a bit 1970s. Remember Back Door (though they knew harmony so not an exact comparison)?

The drummer's hair is awesome!

[jazztitch]

Chicken, the music. Postmodernist cobblers - a hollow imitation, in its unbridled lo-fi freedom, of the worst of the 1970s (the best was outstandingly innovative). I think this kind of thing is a musical reflection of the faux revolution of New Labour - kids playing at rebellion when comfy consumerism reigned. With luck the new economic reality will foster a new musical sincerity.

@jazztitch It's not entirely clear which "it" you're referring to in that comment.

[jazztitch]

Don't worry everyone. I know who they are, just being ironic. Competent jazzers dumbing for effect. I think it's pretentious crap.

@jazztitch

they ARE a "jazz band" mate... search for them on spotify. and if you like their stuff, search for Polar Bear (band) it's the drummer and saxophonists' newer project...

also, a saxophone isn't a "jazz" instrument. it's just an instrument.

[iamsarra]

jazzitch you retard! How can you be so dumb!!!! "its encouraging to see punks play adopting jazz instruments"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they are all trained jazz musicians that are adopting punk... why are you even commenting when you are obviously into britney spears!!!!

[rbergsten74]

This IS JAZZ! That is all.

[TheBenji979]

AMAZING

[cliverich]

Sounds very 70s to me.

These are all real pros at the top of their game, pushing the boundaries of modern jazz. Organized chaos at it's best! Check out pianist Tom Cawley's OTHER award winning band, 'Curios' for a less heavy, more melodic sound. Or his duet with Peter Gabriel if it's commercial you're after.
