They're are very good new Scottish band, I heard they didn't do well in the states, is this true.

You may be surprised, but I know around me in Boston there are a few stations that play their single all the friggin time. I was planning on getting the album today or tomorrow, so I'll post again when I finally get it. I'm pretty sure I'll like it a lot...

'Take Me Out' made it big here in Canada, as well as in the states. I like that song, haven't heard any others however.

The only song i've ever heard from them is indeed "take me out" which I didn't mind, but it wasn't a favorite.

Ive got their CD on my computer, i feel "take me out" is one of the weaker tracks on the CD. It is sooooooo overplayed I actually hate the song now.

Jacqueline and 40' are my faves
It has some mean punchy guitar riffs and bass lines though (the CD) and it is pretty cool.

Seriously though, this whole "rock revival" is getting pretty tired. We need some new Electro-Rock (think the Killers) if the genre is going to maintain interest. What we don't need is GAY bands like modest mouse cashing in on it.
But my main love will always be electronic music.
New Rock bands often lack originality, I'll always prefer the classics (Beatles, Stones, Doors, Jimi, Who , Zeppelin, Bowie etc)

Has anyone heard 'Matinee'

Thats the song that really put them on the map in britain.

Ok, why do you not like modest mouse?

They have been around for years, their new CD sucks compared to their old stuff.
They are one of my favorite bands for there originality.

Listen to some of their old music, you will see.

the reason new rock bands seem to lack originality, is because how much more can they innovate and keep coming up with new styles of music? of course the beatles, zeppelin, hendrix, the who, etc. will always be classics and be infinitely more famous than newer bands. you know why? 'cause rock was new back then, and every time they put out a track they didnt have people criticizing the songs and saying they werent unique enough. they had the privilege of being the pioneers of rock and roll, instead of just being compared to a mold that had already been developed years earlier.

and i like modest mouse the single 'float on' seems really overplayed and tiresome now, but "good news for people who love bad news" was a great cd with a lot of other better songs on it. "the world at large" and "ocean breathes salty" are two other songs i really enjoyed, id recommend those to anyone who wants to hear more modest mouse besides float on.

modest Mouse is garbage!

It sounds like circus/clown music. Id never heard of them before their latest album but ive listened to it and it Sucks!

I dont know about their old stuff but Im not about to go out and buy it, i value my ears too much!

bongwater

yes Ive heard of Franz Ferdinand here in slurrey bc canada.
I cant remember the song exactly but Im pretty sure it sucked.

And whoever said that we need bands like the killers to remain interest in rock is an idiot, no offence. They are pop, not rock, they do that annoying somebody told me song right? well it sucks, sorry to break it to you but it sucks.

There isn't anything coming out right now that is really that interesting at all in rock. All the music sounds the same and is just basically your average hit song that doesnt sound any different than the other 19 songs in the top 20. "bands" like Linkin Park dont count either because they are their own brand of ****.

I did hear a band from Australia that sounded pretty cool, but I can't remember their name at all. They have an AC/DC sound to them, however the one thing that really didn't attract me to them was their lead singers voice which was kinda odd.

yeah I kinda took that topic off track a little
