I saw some reviews saying how fantastic they are, listened to a couple of tracks, and I reckon there's a fair amount of hype involved. There's nothing wrong with them, but there's only space in my life for one group of Jesus and Mary Chain impersonators, and they're called The Jesus and Mary Chain.

it's not just jamc, you can clearly notice the bands they are influenced by, fuck it, everybody copies everybody, they are new and they are playing rock.
i'm getting their record. |

I've just given some of the tracks off the album another listen, and I really think they're a band whose appeal will be short-lived.

you might be right, i dont know.
i'm not saying this is a masterpiece or anything. i'm giving them credit for making this shoegaze pop salad out of the sound of a couple of my favourite bands and not sound totally lame. i'm getting their record, that's all, and if they come around i'm going to see them. |

A little bit MBV. a little bit JAMC, a little bit Spacemen 3.
Yeah, I'd go and see them live if they came round my way too. But I'll wait for you to upload the album, rather than buy it myself ![]() |

I'm a bit put off by their clever-clever name. Any good? A waste of time?

they're ok.
Quite good at times but also a little unsatisfying. Does that make sense? |

They're bound to end up just like all of these other Brooklyn hype bands right now that just happen to be playing at the right place at the right time. They do make some fucking cool pedals though for a heavy price. http://www.deathbyaudio.net/

yeah i like them. a thinking mans black rebel motorcycle club. the album is very very good but as with many bands, the 2nd album is where the mustard is cut. but yeah, they are certainly worth checking out. i love that circa 85 feel about them.
the bmrc reference was a little tounge in cheek! |

i remember buddyhead likes them and buddyhead hates those hyped new york city bands. but they also have a hard on for jamc and spacemen 3.
