Test Icicles
 

Their debut CD is out tomorrow, got some really good songs on it, but i'm not entirely sure I like it a lot. Seems to be more bad songs than good at the moment, but with a few more listens that opinion may reverse.

Check out the song/video Circle Square Triangle on their myspace; [url]www.myspace.com/testicicles[/url]

The music isn't very good but they have a cool name.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]I'd be willing to debate that.[/QUOTE]

Bring it on.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]The Test Icicles is a stupid and awkward name.[/QUOTE]

You win.

Lame name, lamer music.

I read the name as "Ice Testicles." Dyslexia?

p.s. you guys don't know what you're talking about. The name "Test Icicles" is really a good representation of the amazingly advanced maturaty level of these guys and their overall importance to music period.

p.p.s. just checked out their myspace and they're horrible.

I've got the CD on order they are awesome

Why you all hating? i love them "circle triangle square" is a great song. and their guitarist is black :amaze:

I don't like them because the other members are white.

are you black? i am and proud.

Nope, just saying race doesn't really matter in a sarcastic tone.

race shouldn't matter, i am in two minds about this band. they say they are playing music they feel like playing, they also say they don't like their music. i think the latter is a downright lie, but i admire them for doing what they want and taking music somewhere new but i do think they are trying to cash in on a new gimmick

I haven't checked into them yet, I've read a few articles on them but haven't checked them out, mainly because of their stupid name.

What kind of name is [i]Interstate[/i].

:p

Yeah, crap name but check out the song Circle Square Triangle. Very good.

They are terrible live. Doesn't really work at all.

They're playing in my town tonight and I can't be arsed to go see them.

They sound just like Bloc Party to me, just not as good. And I'm not even a Bloc Party fan..

And the name is truly awful.

Seeing as I try not to be too predjudice towards things I'll check out that song you recommended.

Cirlce Square Tirangle/Dancing On Pegs = superb

Boa vs Python = dire

I can't decide if i'm willing to take a risk and buy the album, if it's alla s good as the first two it'll be kickass, if it's as bad as Boa it's gonna be rubbish...

It's more Boa vs Python. It is really boring and just mostly terrible.

Circle Square Triangle is a diamond in the rough, it's so good compared to everything else. Snowball, What's Your Damage, Sharks, and All Your Need is Blood are the only other listeable tracks. It should've been an EP.

they played a gig in liverpool recently and they got booed off the stage by fans of the arctic monkeys. they couldn't deal with it and just walked off half way during their set, not very rock'n'roll...

I don't like them at all.

They just don't do it for me at all.

They were bloody awesome when I saw them live at Reading then the ULU.

I like them quite a lot, although some of the songs get painful after time, and the cd recordings don't live up to live ones.

I think they are awesome, pushing the boundaries with this new breed of "synth rock" that everyone seems to be doing now-a-days. Theyre, influenced from everything, from slayer to beastie boys. Catch It! is a great song by them. I suggest you all pick up this album now!

I just read it quickly as "Testicles"

personally i dont mind them. there a fun band with some catchy twisted songs. bit like a demented bloc party. my friend went to see them live though and he said they mimed over a cd backing track.

So, i got a copy of the album.

4 good tracks does not an album make.

Nah they don't, they have a drum backing track because they don't have a drummer but that's all.

They're pretty awful, ive met the "black guitarist" Dev through a friend when they supported Death From Above 1979 in liverpool and he said the band were close to a break up, then lo and behold i found them playing at Leeds Festival and they were equally awful there too.

They got booed when they supported DFA'79, which was fair because they just seemed to flail around alot while nearly knocking everyone by the stage in the head with their guitars.
