the only problem with a lot of these bands at the moment is it all seems pretty generic and samey. i like hot hot heats new album though. very good.

what do u mean generic...the only two that can sorta be compared are the bravery and the killers, i don't see much resemblance between bloc party and franz, interpol is also very different, not to mention hot hot heat, whose elevator is not just very good, it's excellent, with every song a potential single.i thought they looked pretty stupid on the video though, like the partridge family...they could have looked way cooler.

hehe...i just listened to the album....hehehe....it's like rockabilly wild west music , and i could see it being a soundtrack for a really bad spagheti western movie....i imagined myself riding into the sunset on my horse whilst listening to them....hilarious....

i like the bravery better. they were on some late night show thingy a few nights ago.. then the kaiser chiefs were on some other show last night, i hate them. the lead singer looks like he's having a seizure.

^Haha too true... The Kaisers just drive me insane, I cant stick 'em. Sometimes catchy is good, but theyre not good. Really.

yeah, plus the kaiser chiefs are ugly.. the lead singer of the bravery has nice hair.:rolleyes:

i'm a fan of both bands but i think, commercially at least, that the chiefs are more popular. if i hadn't bought Qmag or Uncut i would just have heard of the Bravery. The Chiefs are definately getting more exposure here....

Bravery.

thus that makes them better?

interpol are nothing unique. we've all seen similiar stuff before them and we'll see similar stuff after them. bloc party & franz ferdinand are all about the frenetic guitar and sciffle drum beats. then you have your embraces, athletes, keanes etc. coldplay clones. HHH are good but again nothing unique. the kooks, the rapture etc very similiar.
