They sound like they were produced like a boy band, but with complete inclusionTM in mind. Can you hate a band just by looking at their haircuts? I would set the singers hair on fire, it looks like a fucking bush. Or a pack of dead rats. It just irks me, I can't look away, I wanna set it on fire.

I can't even hear the singing over that.

And the singing? Oh the singing... The dude from Radiohead and the chick from Evanesence had a baby, it's this guy.

Like that drummer though, quality stuff!

My wife made that same observation, "he needs to open his mouth more."

That SNL performance, even at their most uh rockin’, makes the Strokes sound and look like the MC5.

Watched the SNL vids. Consistent with my first listens to this band, I can’t find much to criticize about the music/instrumentation and damn near everything to criticize about the vocals. There’s definitely some Thom Yorke in there but also the dude from Grizzly Bear. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe Jonathan Richman on lean?

Maybe this ends up like Deerhoof where I eventually get inured to the vocals and start to appreciate the band as a whole. It hasn’t happened yet.

Bass player loves this band. I still don’t quite get it.

No vote for now I guess.

It is just worse Rufus Wainwright with a mouth full of peanut butter and nothing else. Dude fro Grizzly Bear at least has some subtlety and emotional control... and better pitch... and lacks that shot up with novocaine annunciation.

Vocals is Thom Yorke and this dude, who was forgotten as quickly as this band will be.

I mean, RIGHT!?

Like Amyl & The Sniffers, these youths were astroturfed.
