opinions about this band?
I like them - obviously not groundbreaking and very derivative, but I like their single.

xkejjer,
what do you like (besdes supergrass)?
i don't think the jet single is anything great, but crappy .... how would you describe the rasmus in that case?

The 1980s was perfect. There was no war...was there? I wouldn't know, I'm a supermodel...

Oh god here it comes again . Actually just got hold of The Warlocks' new record - Phoenix. Detected conspicuous echoes of the velvet underground (but of course who isn't doing that, right? ). Having said that, if you listen to anything by BRMC or the Von Bondies, they're also some degree of reference to bands like VU, Beatles, The Who whatever. The point is how a band wears their originality. You can either wear it like a badge and express it through your own distinct sound (as have BRMC and VB), alternatively you could rip off other ppl's riffs (iggy pop) and still display your badge of originality. Jet are a good rock n roll band, (but apart from their pretty faces and sexy jeans have nothing new to prove whereas musical credibility goes). There's a difference between idolizing your influences and stealing trademark riffs for the sake of selling out. Don't get me wrong, jet do get my rocks off. Just not in the way other bands have. Jet have nothing much to say except for asking some chick out, attempting to impress her with their stolen riff. I recommend the warlocks' album to anyone into this hype-thing. Be a judge.

good jumpy tune their single... but i have to agree with xkejjer... everytime i hear the intro i'm rearing up for... great it's Lust for Life!!! then i'm disappointed pah... bassline is ripped off - and i'm not talking generic white stripes style but simply blatantly stolen, pilfered, copied and any other word that is synonymous with these words applies. I'm not gonna bother with a thesaurus.
