Is there a more fun band on the planet than !!!? Their name is fun. Fun to look at. Fun to say. "CHK CHK CHK. CHK CHK CHK!!!"
In fact, their ten-minute version of Nate Dogg's 'Get Up' is probably the most fun cover version ever recorded. Apart from The Kooks doing ‘Crazy’ on the Live Lounge*, obviously.
So, it's without disappointment that ‘Heart of Hearts’, from March's Myth Takes long-player, picks up where Louden Up Now left off. It's got an opening bassline that sounds like it’s being physically pulped and ripped into shape before Nic Offer's mumbled vocal and ridiculous synth guitars come together to make nightclub seat-dwellers fear for their spot as they rush to the dancefloor. In short, it's absolutely fabulous.
And that isn't hyperbole. As this review is being written it is cold and dark and all your writer has to look forward to is a cup of coffee and late-night episodes of The Wire, but 'Heart Of Hearts' leaves him dancing on a cheap Ikea chair. This is what stereo systems were made for. Forget iPods, !!! are meant to be played at full volume in a big room. Preferably while doing some silly dancing.
*Is this the worst cover, nay noise, ever made? DiScuss.

...have signor, these folk are S-U-P-E-R-B.
Seconded...
.... this is an absolute beast of a song which makes me almost want to forgive them for their no show at the Glade festival last year.
I assume it was a no-show anyway - I gave them 40 bloody minutes to get their asses into gear with nary a hint of success
I ain't
heard this yet but I am wetting my pants in anticipation!!!!
If ya got hips - shake 'em, and if ya got fears, forsake 'em!!!
The last 2 sentences
are possibly the truest things I've ever read. Yup.
yeesssss!
I'm so up for another batch of super dance tunes. March is too long away.
good song!
good band, good live but with annoying singer!
the new album
ain't a patch on Louden Up Now. it's still pretty good though.
i <3
this song. Bend of Beethoven is also awesome.
I have never heard !!!
Pity me. I may be the fool.
They did turn up at Glade
I saw them! They were around half an hour late I think... Fantastic though.
I haven't heard this new one yet but from the stuff they played there I'm sure it's going to be ace.
Does Anyone else
really want to hear the Kooks version of "crazy" now?
It really want to hear how bad it actually is....
in fact i want to hear it more than !!! new single, even though i actually like that band.
there be
a link!
for both
in the review. clever eh. eh?
Sunstroke
Im sure I was there twiddling my thumbs for more than half an hour but I am willing to concede they made an appearance.
Actually, given it was the final afternoon, by twiddling my thumbs I do actually mean chewing my own face off.
i love this album
the bassline on the opening track is immense. except the last track, its by far my favourite record of 2007 thus far.
but thats not hard to be honest...
