I like both bands but it is completely blatent.

With all due respect, what the hell are you talking about?
Are you sure you have the right band?
The singer sounds nothing like Ash, and the guitar player sounds like a punk version of The Edge.

Summary (guitars):

POLVO
Ash: *ping, spang..brrrmmmmp, TINK poing*
Dave:*skkkrrrrr, pip, bring-bring, SLLLLLuuuurrooowwnnn*

LSF
Seth: *chiki duckuh chiki duckuh chicki duckuh pe-pe-pe-pe pe-pe-pe-pe*

Summary (vocals):

POLVO
Ash: "mystical sitars n' snakey snakes flying around on Arjuna's cart built of shards of acid rooooock"

LSF
Tim: "Yeah! Woo! Sexy pants and corduroy underwear, yeah, Brooklyn is very very cool and so are we, but we aren't bragging about it, we're actually genuinely nice guuuuysss! Give us all of your gin!"


The only thing they have in common is that they both rule.

....and that Les Savy Fav really just rips off Avail, not Polvo.

I saw them live, you can't fool me.

I still hear Polvo in LSF.
Polvo were a better band though.

edit - I'd like you to keep doing the verbal explanations of bands though.
Next could you do Bedhead?

alex, can I start an all-text band with you?

You guys aren't bad, but you better recruit CR if your band is to be any good; he's proven himself the master of hilarious band text approximation.

Today's Active Lifestyles is so much better than anything else that Polvo ever did. They're a good band but that record goes above and beyond.

It's like they thought, "shit, we're all Polvo and shit, let's get up today and be the best motherfucking Polvo in the world".

Every other album has at least a few incredible tunes, though. I really love Fast Canoe and Fractured Like Chandeliers.

I would subscribe to a magazine consisting of Alex's and Kerble's text-approximation reviews of bands.
