Nice to know there's a new album on the way too, I certainly have room for more chimp in my life.

Saw them live last year after picking up Hope For Men, preferred them live to on record.
Anyone know if they're planning on touring at some stage?

I reckons.

Confused teenager upset that one of the bands he likes isn't loved by everyone. Probably needs to get laid.

Nail on Head.

shame about the gear malfunctions.
Some of the crowd were pretty Barley-esque though.

First half is much stronger than the 2nd, kind of loses energy a bit.
I think the production is maybe a bit compressed... the loud bits don't sound as loud when they kick in.
When the songs click there's not a band on the planet I love as much though..

Stupid rubbish record shops.

Deserves more than 7 surely!

No Torche though, boo!

Torche - Meanderthal
Charlottefield - What Are Friends For?
Fucked Up - The Chemistry of Common Life
These Arms Are Snakes - Tail Swallower and Dove
Boris - Smile
TV On the Radio - Dear Science
Russian Circles - Station
Earth - Bees Made Honey In the Lions Skull

and thought it was horribly generic ITV indie.

Hasn't got much balls, has it?

A History of Bad Men may well be one of the best riffs ever.
My ears were also ringing afterwards.. I blame all the dual drummer shenanigans.

LAME

They never fail to make me laugh. But in a good way.

Though I've heard rumours that BSkyB may be doing a joint venture with Sugardaddie.com...

Sounds pretty X-Treem.

GGRRRRRRRRRR.

they're ace! Especially the guy who you can't tell if he's asleep or not..

If I'm out of the country when they tour I'm going to be miffed..

"Musically there were a number of new influences that inspired me while I was writing, bands like Yeasayer, Fleet Foxes, and Dirty Projectors. None of these bands are making ‘rock’ music, per se, but then I haven’t heard a particularly inspiring rock album in ages."

If you're not satisfied- turn up the volume.
Repeat ad infinatum.

If they don't, it may seem that DiS is a riff free zone, and I will have to exodus to Thrash Hits' comments section.

the new Melvins album didn't sound filthy enough?

If Aaron's not still climbing on amps I'll be quite disappointed.

Looking forward to hearing this now!

And getting soaked.

for XTRMNTR..

regardless of whether the festival is on or not!

It's ridiculous!

but it was a good read!

Awesome.

..hmmm..

Pitchforks out.

I was at Field Day, and whilst that had it's problems there was enough good stuff to outweigh the bad. (Basically Electrelane, Liars, and finding a spot in the sun for a nap)

Having that many bands pull out, no clean toilets etc makes you wonder how the organisers got the backing to put the festival on in the first place. Not to mention what happened with the budgets... (the story of Mark Ronson being paid in pound coins is funny though)

Surely there's quite bad health implications without there being drinking water? Something like that's more than a teething problem..

Organisers apparently marched off site? No drinking water on site after a while? Sounds like a complete mess.

to pull out. Surely they can't not issue refunds, particularly as it doesn't look like there's not much to fill the gap.
