Super25Smasher Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I just finished their first (and currently only) album for the first time after a recommendation from a friend, and was impressed with this new band. Any other fans here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the UK they were for a little while treated like an unprecedented phenomenon, as if they were the first rock band to emerge from the UK since 1971 or something...absurd! Meanwhile Royal Blood, Temperance Movement and Young Guns have no mainstream impact at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I saw them open for Foo Fighters last summer. They were good. Very loud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toscanobarga Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 No they're not "remarkable" but they are very good and more importantly have a young audience who will hopefully discover more "rock" music. Pretty amazing that it's all bass and drums though, if I didn't know better I'd have thought there was guitar in a bunch of their songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huge Ackman Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) I saw them open for Foo Fighters last summer. They were good. Very loud. I saw them open for Foo Fighters at Pine Knob. Loud, decent rock beats and great live energy on stage. However, the two-man line-up got pretty "meh" pretty quickly. They get the many "guitar" sounds from an octave machine for the bass player who fully wails on his instrument and puts on an impressive live performance...but the music has not complexity nor depth as it's all the same lines just varying pitch on the single notes & chords played on the bass. I say add a guitar or two who bring the same live energy and add some orchestration to the musical scene and they'll be worth re-considering. Otherwise, I won't likely buy any of their recorded stuff nor go out of my way to see them live again... Rock on!

Fridge Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Pretty amazing that it's all bass and drums though, if I didn't know better I'd have thought there was guitar in a bunch of their songs. He has a pretty complicated rig..if I remember correctly he uses polyphonic octave generators to split the sound and sends one part of the signal to fender guitar amps and the other to bass amps....it sounds like a guitar and a bass because one signal is an octave up and the other an octave down.....he uses a bunch of other effects too, but he's quite cagey about his exact setup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I like them. I saw their show in Rio on the TV, and they rocked! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Tried their first two albums over the weekend on streaming. Not bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSnwdog Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I like what I have heard. I don't know if I would dig a live performance though. With only two dudes, there would have to be a lot of "smoke and mirrors". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
