They sound and look like their influences which in todays musical climate is very brave

Exactly how is it "brave"?

Precisely.

It's not brave pretending to be an 80s hair band when Aerosmith are still releasing and selling Greatest Hits cds.

The guitars are muddy, the drum sound is flabby, the playing is downright boring and the vocalist is pub band standard at best. It wouldn't matter if they were playing this naff bollocks or Girls Aloud covers. Pish.

Och, leave me be with my pretencious teen-alcoholic ramblings. I've got the Holy Folks on there which balances it all out anyway.

My oppinion stands!

That guy, Oberst, cant sing at all so i'd the singer of Estrella over him anyday. At least you realise it's pretentious wank!

Yeah, but I'm sure the singer of Estrella would be quite good at singing some angry down-tempo country acoustic (maybe even having a drunken rant at the diseaced John Peel too?), but if Conor Oberst borrowed his sisters hairspray and started throwing shapes in a substandard pap faux-80s band, I'd be blubbing in my soup along with everyone else.

Estrella vs Bright Eyes... nice thread

Well, let's see. If this site is as important as it would like to be, then it's bound to be read by anyone looking for Estrella on the internet. Every topic recently posted by them has had loads of slagging of them, so you know, might not be the wisest idea to keep posting emotionless "press releases" on here.

But I just realised that I hadn't commented, soo...

Nothing wrong with the music, it does fit the style perfectly. But...what the hell is with the guy's voice? it's fucking terrible...

I personally like them, lots.
