Latest edition of NME.

Keeping It Simple · 05.26.2010, 06:13 PM

It has a special feature on what it calls "the new American invasion". Anyone here heard of any of the bands featured? It's done it in a photo gallery way.

Here's the cover.

now i know what type of person reads the nme. it all makes sense to me now.

Derek · 05.26.2010, 06:19 PM

The Drums are shit. The National are okay. Animal Collective isn't really "new".

HaydenAsche · 05.26.2010, 07:11 PM

I enjoy the National. Rest of them are shit for the most part. Surfer's Blood wasn't bad live but I don't ever feel like listening to them.

Oh, and Animal Collective? They're a few minutes behind it seems.

dionysusundone · 05.26.2010, 07:11 PM

p. much all these bands suck

Genteel Death · 05.26.2010, 07:46 PM

They put zola jesus in the ''radar'' section a couple of years too late, didn't they?

hevusa · 05.26.2010, 08:09 PM

does this mean NME sucks? or just all redcoats?

SYRFox · 05.26.2010, 11:49 PM

So the NME is basically a 6-month late version of Pitchfork? I mean, The National have been known for a couple of years even in France - and that's saying a lot.

exploding plastic candle · 05.26.2010, 11:53 PM

garge rock garage rock garage rock blah blah blah

but I really like titus andronicus. sue me

pbradley · 05.27.2010, 12:04 AM

The first time I heard, haven't listened, about The Nationals was when they opened for Radiohead.

True. They've been known for some time now.

Toilet & Bowels · 05.27.2010, 05:11 AM

i met one of the guys from the Strange Boys, he seemed like a nice guy and i think he has some band going with one of the girls from Finally Punk called The Carrots

i just listened to The Drums (least imaginative band name ever) they sound like a cross between the smiths and erasure.

atsonicpark · 05.27.2010, 05:22 AM

Just look at those fucking people on the cover. Oh my god. Embarassing...

LIAM'S BEATLES MOVIE: WHY IT JUST MIGHT WORK.

I thought for years, people were joking when they said they still care about Oasis overseas. Guess not. Shit band. That publication is SHIT.

atsonicpark · 05.27.2010, 05:23 AM

THE NEW AMERICAN INVASION? They're really grasping aren't they? Why can't they put THE FRENCH TECHNO OOMPAH-PAH SOUND on their cover?

I never knew there was an Etonian public schoolboy look going on in the US.

Let's Go Surfing by The Drums sounds good. Actually most of the songs I've heard on their MySpace page sound good.

Keeping It Simple · 05.27.2010, 07:06 AM

I love this video.

Decayed Rhapsody · 05.27.2010, 08:19 AM

That video is pretty obnoxious and way too Brooklyn. Erasure is actually capable of writing an interesting pop song. These dudes are just annoying.

PAULYBEE2656 · 05.27.2010, 09:56 AM

the nme used to be good until menswear appered on the cover. the national are shite, i am in the vast minority of folk who think so but they are dull as the drums !
