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; www.myspace.com/testicicles

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

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.

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.

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.
