[QUOTE=neal_672]Nah they don't, they have a drum backing track because they don't have a drummer but that's all.[/QUOTE]

They play all the drum backing tracks through an ipod. You learn something new every day.

ive had the album for a while now
i love them

i dunno how you couldnt, since they mix alot of music together
but opinions are opinions i guess

comptonasseddy 01-07-2006 08:57 AM

Does anyone know if they play their basslines through an ipod as well, seeing as they dont have a live bassist and all. For fans of test icicles check out the live version of "circle, square, triangle" on the domino records website, featuring a guest rapper mc lair or something like that.

I feel embarassed to be from the same country as these.

Catch it is such a quality song.

Sorry for bringing back this thread, but I thought I'd let you know this band will be splitting up very soon and the reasons for it are fairly hilarious.

BillCosby 01-24-2006 08:59 PM

Wanna inform us?

StandingStill 01-25-2006 07:37 PM

I can't really. I'd get in trouble with my label. Just read a couple of their interviews, they aren't actually joking about some of the stuff they say. They won't split till after SXSW don't worry.

StaticSynth 01-25-2006 07:56 PM

I hadn't even heard of them until now. I watched their Circle Square Triangle music video and it was pretty lame, musically and visually, so yeah. I'll make sure to steer clear from them in the future.

I'm not worrying at all?

They don't like their music, they play a lot of **** shows which they seem to hate? They're in it for the money, now have what they have and are splitting?

StandingStill 01-26-2006 06:12 AM

Sorry I meant to quote the guy who thought he'd missed the last chance to see them. I don't like em either, you're about right anyways - worst kept secret in British music...

incubliss 01-26-2006 08:57 AM

So they're actually like that? What a bunch of knobs!

ToMsK 01-26-2006 01:43 PM

DO they actually have a ryhthm section at all? (I.e. bassist and Drummer) i saw live footage of them, only saw the 2 guitarists the 'singer' and MC lars. i think there a bit s'hit however, it was live and some bands just dont cut it live (even with a programed ryhthm section)

incubliss 01-26-2006 04:51 PM

It's all played through an iPod apparently. Bass and Drums.

(Hail to the thief) 01-30-2006 06:31 PM

i think theyre pretty good

i usually hate screaming music

but this stuff was pretty cool

StandingStill 01-30-2006 07:19 PM

[url]http://drownedinsound.com/event/view/15111[/url] I think that sums them up pretty well.

Converge 01-30-2006 11:17 PM

I like them, all you need is blood and catch it! are my favorite songs. The album is good..
