I think i recognise the name and saw alot of praise on here for them. Just asking as my mate's just asked me to go see them at 13th Note tonight.
Description? Worth going?

I saw them at ROTA in April
Wasn't overly impressed, tbh.

I saw them last Friday at Industry in East London - they were very tight some good tunes and technically sound but were blown away on the night by Eat Lights;Become Lights who were on before them
...
Are you kidding me? Eat Lights were the worst band I've seen in so long. Their songs just kept going and going with no point whatsoever behind them. And though I appreciate them trying to do that thing where you have long songs that all flow into each other, in reality this just means that all their tunes are in the same tempo, the same key and mostly using similar rhythms. In concolusion: Terrible. Terrible. Boring. Terrible.
...the bassist allegedly looked like a white Snoop Dogg though. Some consolation.
ah, s'alright - the name is the correct one
that i recognised, so i shall be going.
It should only be a few bucks, i suspect
i think they're really good
lazy description would be post rocky (no, not 'Daylight'), but it's mainly instrumental rock based, with bits of electronica. Interesting but also emotional I guess.
Definitely worth a look though.
Have a listen to
their (very quiet!) session tracks from the weekend to help make up your mind:

The volume levels are very strange though, be warned!
When I saw them
one of them was wearing combat trousers.
^this
they're reet good, but dress like semi-aussie surfers...!
Interesting post-rock outfit with a great command over their volume.
Yes.
i've seen them a few times
including last week. yes they are good, i'm waiting to hear the record before i say too much more, as i've always been under an influence when i've seen them.
one of the guitarists takes too many steroids
so i'm going to get both aesthetic and aural pleasure? Bargain!!
really?!?!
ummm. Pete (the blonde one)? none of them sem particularly built or small of testicle. Hell, I reckon I could take a random combo of any two of them.
moderate build will suffice
i think you'll still be disappointed
yeah, pete, his vains were throbbing like a willy in medalla's room!
who's medalla?
some really hott girl i just made up!
i like her name
honestly, she's the second hottest girl EVER!
is the hottest the blonde one from Vessels with the veiny arms?
he scares me
my lovely lady is the hottest of course :)
...
I call that one Mr Intensity. Kinda reminds me of Mark Speight.
They blew me away at Live At Leeds
They're sort of like 65dos without loads of electronics, they use two drum kits at some points which is just incredible, and as someone's said they're quite emotional, not just stale instrumental stuff. Well worth seeing.
very good
but everything will probably be late because they take a decade to set up. two drums, lots of equipment, possibly a flugel horn.
Pretty good
Definately worth going to see live.
Loud post/ambient-rock.
Great band.
Probably one of the best to come out of Leeds. However they are horrible horrible people especially the bass player. He eats children.
this is entirely true
don't bring your kids with you.
Maddy
was last seen at a Vessels gig.
That's a little known fact
plus martin speaks portuguese
i'll let you fill in the rest
(he can actually speak portuguese)
they are a great band
i actually find they are more enjoyable under the influence, otherwise i do find them a bit dry sometimes.
really strong musicians though.
i'll neck a bottle of red beforehand probably anyway
Very good
I saw them at Luminaire a couple of months ago and purchased their excellent EP. Nice guys do play rock n roll.
They're very, very good
Very
...
Yes. They own.
i like them
and i'm fucking ace so.......
