I downloaded their entire discography the other night, and they're one of my new favourite bands :lol: I haven't had a chance to do so just yet, but my friend says if you listen to their second album, all their songs run together, so it's like one giant song. They're an amazing band IMO, and quite a few of my friends listen to them.

Have any of you guys heard them? If so, what do you think?
 
People used to play them in the common room back in ye olde schooling house. They piss me off. Shit, shit songs. Though I can see why they're liked. It does get in your head.
 
Saw them live twice at at a local venue the other year and I was not impressed, they were weak. Did well with a Kerrang! Award last year if I remember right, with some garbage of a song that pissed me right off. I don't see the fascination with them to be honest, there are quite a few bands out there who play similar music yet are much better. But hey whatever wets ya walls I suppose.
 
Johnny Sniper is quite catchy. I'd really like them if they weren't so screamo. Otherwise, they're a really good band but any kind of screaming in a song throws me off being too interested.
 
I've heard the name before, couldn't recall any songs so I looked them up. My impression:

Generic metalcore band with untrained screaming and talentless singing.
 
Aye, that is is :elmo: It really sounds like he's had no practice at singing...but alot of bands are like that these days. For some reason it got popular to have a wavery voice that can't hold a pitch.

Plus I really detest bands that just scream poorly for no reason at all. IMO it's a disgrace to metal.
 
i like them. a few of their songs are just like blah but i think their stuff is quite original in an unoriginal kinda way if you know what i mean. they totally inspired the whole electro/emo thing and although most of the bands that jumped on THAT bandwagon were crap, they mange to pull it off really well. smiles all round :D
