is he single date me...lead singer..;)

Sean Fleming

leader singer is an amazing vocalist. His arrangements here and in other songs are impressive...."be your own weapon"

Matthew Doyle

These guys are good, but something's missing. I dig it, but it has a buzz kill feel to it...almost Modest Mouse, but no where near it. I can see how they are not main stream, but that never gauges great music anyways.

I saw them in the Midwest right before I moved back to California. Awesome band. Really mellow sound.

The term hipster is fucking retarded. It doesn't mean anything except someone who follows fashion and makes music that is also fashionable. It is so overused that it can mean anything or anyone now.

I'm mostly referring to white English rappers. Sorry that pool of rappers stinks. Slick Rick is obviously amazing, but he spent most of his life in America. Black reggae from England is great too.

Jeffrey Hafler

Slick Rick is one of the best rappers ever, he's English.

we dont pretend to be cool, we are cool. if a persons good at what thier doing they are going to get noticed, as hipsters we know that. i.e foster the people, edwarde sharpe, swim deep, moro y tori. we just want to embrace the independence while it lasts.

SamB91

Lol I got dragged to a fucking Foster The People concert, these dudes were the openers and fucking whomped them. Cool dudes too if you get to meet em in person.

subsamadhi

Hmm...I looked up the Four Owls. Not bad. What you are describing is happening in America too with labels like Rhymesayers. There was this guy called "Eyedea" that I saw live several times and he passed away like a year and a half ago. I'm not that into hip hop any more the whole genre lost my interest because most of the new shit I find boring or really fucking stale.

I don't want to argue or carry on even, but there is. Granted loads of it is shite. But if you don't believe look up Verb-T, Fliptrix, Four Owls among others. I'm not saying 'english rap' is good, just that there is a load of good hip hop cropping up at the moment. aye, i'll give you that one though.

subsamadhi

Somehow I doubt that. I've heard English rappers before. Not even worth listening to really. I have friends in underground hip hop in California, which is where a lot of good stuff rap comes from. The English did classic rock all right. Folk from England is pretty good too. Rap? Not so much.

ferg voigt

Yes, which is exactly what i'm saying. there is loads of good hip hop coming out of england at the moment believe it or not.

subsamadhi

I pretty much stated that the underground is good. Which is all that is happening. "If I had any idea" I pretty much just stated what is going on in detail. So I do have a fucking idea. "There's tonnes" of good new hip hop? Where the fuck are you from? England? Has there ever been any good hip hop from there ever?

ferg voigt

If you had any idea, you'd know theres tonnes of good new hip hop around at the moment.

there is nothing wrong with getting paid for what you love. the compromise is the sin.

Sarena H

you are fucking lovely

subsamadhi

Really? If popular music has a large talent pool, I'm just not seeing it I guess. Take hip hop for instance, which is an all right genre. There's NOTHING happening in hip hop at all. The underground of this genre is good, but popular stuff is flatline. Why is this? Because the stuff that is cool just doesn't have enough lifeblood left. Rock is like this too. Some decent underground rock happening like this. But what is charting right now? Dog crap, that's what.

dreamgazepostwave

On the contrary,the talent pool is much larger imo, it's the industry that's changed.Back in the day they were handing out record deals like Halloween candy,regardless of the talent(the grunge movement comes to mind).Luckily the definition of "popular" & "making it" has changed as well.At least when we find good bands like this,there's something aesthetic about it,as opposed to realizing one day that it was being crammed down our throats at the turn of every corner.Anyway,cheers for the convo:)
