ALONG THE WATERFALL,: does it offend you, yeah?,

any band that got their name from a david brent quote in "the office" is alright in my books. but on top of that, if they mix conventional indie styling with a healthy splodge of electro and some mouth watering beats then i just might fall in love with said band.

does it offend you, yeah? are exactly that band. from reading and soon to tour with my favourite band of all time, bloc party across the pond, the trio have released their first record entitled "you have no idea what you're getting yourself into". like MSTRKRFT below, they have a good back catalogue of remixes. tracks like "battle royale" and "we are rockstars" exhibit the french/aussie sounding electronic dance music that the group built their reputation on. while "epic last song" (video below) is one example off of the album, of their ability to revert to the old fashioned UK guitar band style, yet never sound generic, one of many criticisms of the UK's current lad-rock outfits such as the enemy, the courteeners and the twang. who are all shite.
