lols (bad german-translation of indie band biogs-centric)

click through to the various artist descriptions here and they're all hilariously bad translations from the german.
HEALTH:
"Noise rock in the name of health is what those boys from LA have succumbed to. Their plan seems to work. No sign of effeted band members what-so-ever. However, you shouldn’t take their claim too seriously. Their rough synth sounds, monotone vocals and polished drumbeats are more likely a sign of madness than of pure health"
Clues: (with it sounding like alden penner has died)
"Two of Montreal’s most eccentric Indie embassdors have founded Clues in May 2007: Alden Penner, founder of the Unicorns, who unfortunately died in 2005, and Brendan Reed, who used to play in Arcade Fire in their early days, but quit before they became famous with „Funeral“"
The XX:
"The words newcomer and band are not enough to describe South London’s threesome The XX – even though they are right."
