  1. I really dislike the whole craze over Ed Banger records. It's not that i particularly dislike the music they put out, it's more the people that listen to it (i know, yeah, that sounds pretty bad). When i think of Ed Banger records, i just see 15 year old girls thinking Justice are the first group to ever use 'computers' in their music.

    really? you reckon they don't even know about daft punk or fatboy slim?

  2. I was a bit suspect of this band to begin with, mainly due to all the 'internet hype' and the fact they are quite clearly posh, Ivy League kids, but they're brilliant. I can't stop listening to them, I'm yet to hear the whole album though, will it dissapoint me?

    It's great to hear something so original done with such a simple 4-piece set up. They sound like an Indie-Pop version of Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

    I also like the fact that instead of trying to hide their poshness by roughing themselves up like The Kooks, they actually wear boat shoes and sweater vests. They've obviously got a bit of a sense of humour about how much of an issue has been made about their background.

    Here's them on Letterman for all who may be interested.

    i think the album is great, really consistent.
