Who here knows of them? I kinda got into them after hearing someone on my dorm floor listening to it. It's very ambiancy and stuff.
Svyatogornyj
Ambiancy.
Orbital
lol
Spencer
They are pretty OK.

Ambiancy.


Anything I say is automaticalated into a real word.

EitS are too samey too me. IMO, if you've heard one album you've heard them all, barring the song "Greet Death".
Svyatogornyj
I'm just being a prick. They are fairly popular and I think Pumpkin is right. You can just pick any album and hear their whole sound. I for one believe their newest record is their strongest output but...whatever.

They're good as background music. I like to listen to them when I write papers, it sorta puts me in a creative mood.
Euphoria
I listen to them on my ipod to help me fall asleep. Good songs, but same sounds like others have said.
Kefka
I... like this band apparently more than anyone else so far. wub.gif
Orbital
I like them a lot. Seeing them April 2 \m/
Paul MC Hurt Meh
The name is pretty lame.
Paraphen
Eh, I've heard of stupider band names.

As far as the actual band goes, I like them somewhat, but most of the time I'm listening to music, I'm not really in the mood for listening to like. . . ambiancy, as it were. It's good chilling out music I guess, but I don't do a whole lot of chilling out.
Kefka
The name is pretty fucking cool. Come on dude, you listen to bands named The Angry Samoans. That is, at most, equally stupid. I'm seeing 'em too, but I don't remember when.

I haven't listened to AS in 2 years 0_o. Why, of all bands, choose that one?

Lame, as in MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE-esque name.

I couldn't really think of any other band I know you've listened to, except like... common rider. laugh.gif

I can understand thinking it's lame, actually, but in a MCR way? Strange. At least the phrase "explosions in the sky" makes sense.

Well, in a sense. It feels like they are attempting to be poetic, but it comes out sounding lame. I mean, I like My Bloody Valentine, but I think that name is lame too.
Svyatogornyj
Actually, I often have no trouble finding something lame about a band's name, especially if it's trying to be "poetic", but that doesn't seem to be the case with their name because it's pretty straightforward. The only thing that could have been simpler would be to name the band "Fireworks" or "Missiles" and that would suck.
Orbital
explosions in the sky is a nice simple name
Paul MC Hurt Meh
Eh, I'm not going to argue over something this trivial, especially from a band I've never listened to. I think the Dicks is more straightfoward lolol
Tin Man
Yea, i'm seeing them sometime in early May. Probably one of my favorite bands, and defeinetely one of the best i've seen live. They can seem a little boring and over-the-top sometimes if I don't listen to them stoned, but I still love them regardless.

Man, it's more like a fact that that's a lame band name, though. laugh.gif

I understand seeing it as a pathetic attempt at being artsy, too... I think it fits, and is simple enough, though.
!LLF!

Keep in mind "fairly popular" is by 404's standards. To quote Sezril from a long time ago, we're so fucking underground we can't here anything else.


or something like that.

They're fairly popular all over.
Zoho Gorganzola
I used to rock a huge hardon for these guys, back when almost all i listened to was post rock. I still really like them, but its not the obsession it used to be.

Ya rly. Every record store I go to is sportin' their new album in the "featured new music" section. >_>
Kefka
Nobody here's heard of 'em. Speak for your own region. tongue.gif
Svyatogornyj
Has anyone heard of anything in your region?
ZOMG PWN WTF BBQ?!
Paul MC Hurt Meh
ANYONE EVER HEARD OF A LITTLE BAND CALLED BLINK 182, YO?
