Anybody into them? They've been around since 2001 or so but recently called it quits after only 3 studio albums....which devastated me. Over the past few months my interest in them has grown massively and I now consider them one of my favorite bands. They have a nice sound that blends disco, rock, pop and dance and while the lead singers voice can be an acquired taste, they were largely overlooked by critics and music fans alike. Think Led Zeppelin merged with Rage Against the Machine and went to a rave. They're also incredibly good live, which is why I chose to include 2 of their live performances.
Their songs are pure energy and completely blow cutesy little indie bands out of the water.

More greatness:
the second video is from their ive DVD Welcome to Japan, which I consider my favorite live concert footage of all time.

I saw them at Itune Festival at Koko in 2008 cos I got a free ticket, but I left the venue after 2 songs. I'm sorry, I respect your taste, but they're just not my cup of tea.

Damn, I would have sold my soul to see them live.

That's a very straightforward name for a band

Haha indeed it is. It might have been what kept them from truly standing out and getting bigger than they were.

I saw them supporting Oasis at Manchester Apollo in 2001 on the "10 Years of Noise and Confusion" tour... they were... ok-ish.

I love The Music. I really dig their Strenght In Numbers B-Sides, don't know why.

Yeah man the SIN era b-sides were all worthy of a more widespread release! I have them all burned onto a disc and I listen to them almost as much as their actual albums. The Price, Just Cos' I'm Alone and Symbol of Hope are among my favorites.
