They're a really good band, alot of energy.

I saw them live in Liverpool last summer, a really good gig.

Buy "Silent Alarm". It's sucha sick album, totally different from anything I've heard - it's like the strokes meets the cure meets the best pop music ever made.

i saw em in nottingham in feburary. they are well good in some ways - the bloc party EP has only good songs - but thier album has too many poncy londoner type jobs for me.

yeah basically british sounding strokes with faster beats, better lyrics, and more experimental sound.
