Also, http://www.mardy-bum.com/?page=music. A shedload of live recordings and demos.

 

awesome

 

From what I've heard... Their demo's have been better than the actual album.

 

well all i know is that i like em, got the album today and just on the last song now, i might check out the live stuff later.

as long as they carry on making good music and they dont sell out im happy.

 

i think that too - the album is way too clean if you getv me. its too 'perfect' the demos are miles better IMO. but i think these album tracks will appeal to a larger amount of listeners

 

As long as they don't sell out? They're already getting number one hits. How do you get more popular than that?

 

I love the single

 

I downloaded their cd. It's pretty good. I really could see myself getting into them more.

 

Yea same!

 

iam glad you like them - they are a great band

iam going to see them on sunday!

 

There is a possibility that they become a flash-in-the-pan success. I hope not, though.

 

they've got a massive fan base so doubt they will

 

The more listen to the albm the more it grows on you, at first i preferred the demo but, now i've listened to the album to many times to count I preffer it. Think it's because you are use to the demos and live version rather than the finished final recordings.

Also roll on sunday so I can see them

 

they sound like the Strokes & Franz Ferdinand mixed together (2 bands I hate) so I don't like them lol but to each their own I guess.

 

I haven't heard the album yet, just the demos. Will probably get it over the weekend, though.

 

I heard ''I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor'' the otherday and i was very impressed

 

ultarmar made a good point - you need to listen to it quite a bit then you should enjoy it more

 

The album is great. The only song that is worse than the demo imo is Fake Tales Of San Francisco.
