OK, i just got some stuff by them. What do you all think of them. I still haven't decided.

I think their image STINX! in a big way, but there music is pretty kool, it took me a couple of spins to get into it , there's couple of weak trax and the CD wouldn't get preference over many of my tunes but yeh they get a thumbs up, well worth a listen... [img]wink.gif[/img]

Yeah, I saw a review feature on them in an issue of Metal Maniacs from about a year ago that I finally got around to reading...they sound interesting, but I've yet to listen to 'em. Any good?

Musically these guys are solid i think. Not sure on the whole image thing. Very much of a twist i must say. I'm getting into them i must say.

I saw them in London last year and they fuckin' rocked! Gig of the year by a mile.

And what's wrong with their image you lot?

I think their image is just WRONG! lol!

If your gonna have an image make the effort and get it right don't just let the local kids draw on yer face and dress you up in their grandads old clothes! lol!

If a jobs worth doin' it worth doin properly!

Wot do you know about image anyways Mr Blitz? lmao!!!! [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]

I don't exactly think it's their intention to look cool. And frankly, who needs to when you've got a keyboard/guitar player who can bake a great pizza and play guitar with his helmet, and a singer who fires rockets out of his arse...

Well I gotta say you've got me there, that's fair play, I back down, anyone who can bake a pizza gets the thumbs up from me! lol! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Seriously though, don't judge them by initial impressions of their appearance but read a couple of interviews with them if you get a chance. You'll find that they're really having a dig at a lot of the pretentiousness inherrent in rock bands and, in particular, metal bands. Actually, if they weren't a band themselves they could probably make a living as comedians.

Oh, and their best album is definitely Apocalypse Dudes. A highly recommended racket.

Sounds kool, I shall delve a lil' further and get some further info, sounds interesting. I only have their Scandinavian Leather CD so maybe I better pick up 'Apocalypse' and check that out too...
