The Duke Spirit
 

i know im going to get guys like hookers, urban etc telling me their crap. but i downloaded the album on the knowledge of one song- love is an unfamiliar name. i was pleasantly surprised by it. very impressed. cuts across the land is very good. anyone else got it/like it?

:p:

i stand corrected. you like the album?

you know what would help if you want us to try these bands out, if you actually said something about the type of music they play...you don't expect me to go check out every band solely on the basis "stu likes them"...do ya?

i couldnt care less if you check them out at all to be honest. i was asking if people like the album. your choice if you want to see what their like.
but since you asked- gritty indie-pop with progressive chord changes and an element of dirty blues.

no need to get all rude about it...jeezzz!!well even though you hate me, i still think you're a sexy beast ;)hehe....

When have I ever done such a thing? :yikes: {if i were to comment on every band I thought was crap, I'd have been banned on day one}

Honestly, I'm not familiar with the music. I'll check it out and get back to you

I saw them described as psychadelia somewhere , dunno where that came from

Bet you would if he wrote for NME's website

:laughing: :clap:

ahhh..even though you think you insulted me, i happen to think nme has a great taste in music and it fits just right with me ( they discovered the bravery, hot hot heat, bloc party, franz ferdinand, they love the arcade fire, the killers, interpol etc) and as i recall it they were the first to discover your precious joy division...that's why when they say something's great i'm gonna check it out...

Actually they were discovered by TV presenter Tony Wilson who gave them a shot on primetime TV and then later signed the band.The band said themselves at the time nobody in London gave a **** about them.

ah yes, but nme was the first and only magazine that put them on the front cover....

..back to the duke spirit then

well i downloaded love is a unfamiliar name and it's a good song, i'm going to download some more, but i wish there was a website out there where you could just listen through entire albums ( sometimes nme.com alows you to do that ), so i don't have to bother downloading...that would be fantastic, and i could choose from much more bands, because i don't really feel like downloading everything , it's quite a slow process...one day maybe...

Nonsense, I discovered Franz Ferdinand long before NME ever did; and I knew you liked NME, you've told us you like their website before, hence why I said it. :)

Anyway I digress. I tried to check out some Duke Spirit but there was none to be found on the web. Saw the album in the music shop today, is it really worth buying?

oh yes. the whole album is good. relentless guitar and a general energy throughout the whole thing. every song is a killer. stand outs- cuts across the land, love is an unfamiliar name, bottom of the sea, fades the sun, theres so many. well worth a tenner.

sorry, downloaded a couple of songs and didn't think much of it...

each to their own.

suppose so...but keep recomending new bands, you know of much more bands then i do...

They're playing in my area tomorrow night. You've convinced me to go check them out Stu. Will let ya know how the gig is. :)

argh i want to see them.

I've downloaded a couple of songs like "Love is an Unfamiliar Name", "Dark is Light Enough", and "Cuts Across The Land". I like their sound very much.

A've got their album, its ****in mega, a saw them live at the kasabian gig when they wir supporting them:) :)
