The Long Blondes are sick

ok so I might not be the first to pick them up but they have not been talked about here.
I won't bother to talk about the band much. Its popish period rock and the lead singer has an awesome voice.

here are videos

edit: obviously i found them through pitchfork

I mentioned them earlier for my Album of 2006 pick. I think they're fucking rockin'.

Eh just sounds like generic pop with Gwen Stefani singing.

Yeah, was thinking that also. Early No Doubt reincarnate mixed with a little Bangs. Gwen has a better voice imo, but these guys sound decent.

It's been done.

Sounds like a generic smiths cover band with a chick singer.

Not bad, but not great...based on those 3 songs mind you...I havent heard all their stuff.

I think their lyrics are pretty interesting;a lot of off-beat relationship songs.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Karen O is my #1 bitch. Love that band!
