I saw the Teenagers last year and it was one of the worst things I've ever seen, music or otherwise.

I really liked the album by The Whitest Boy Alive.

It's Erlend Oye from Kings of Convenience in a new band.

It came out late last year, but I think it's well worth checking schmoot.


Steven Dedalus: So cutting edge that his tip for 2008 is a band that have technically been on the go since 2003.

Ditto, i saw them at Indian Summer and while they were semi-entertaining they were neither cutting edge or "new". If they do get big this year it will purely be from magazine hype and they will (hopefully) just be a flash in the pan.

not a lot of things in music are cutting edge or "new" these days, i don't see what your point is.

thieves like us, i'd also like to add to the list. they're neither cutting edge or "new" though, but they're playing snafu on valentine's day!

I didn't like them, that was my point.

are any of these bands' entire existences not based on ironic fashion and/or having ironic puns for names (such as er, Yo Majesty)...?

well, the black kids actually have black people in their band.
