Just thought I'd spread the word about this upcoming young band, they've got some really great tracks and are going to be big quite soon I think. They're sort of indie/rock, they sing about things in life, about living in sheffield.

Check out

for some of their stuff, and if you're hungry for more, you can find more tracks at the forum, http://www.k-i-l-l.tv/phpBB2/index.php

Spread the word!

Soo... are you in the band or shagging one of its members?

I live in SHeffield...I've erm...not heard of them...

Will have a listen though

I've heard of them and I'm in Birmingham. Apparently they're pretty good.

My hearing is rubbish.

For hearing about new music, you need an ear trumpet.

Well, i'm not gay. I wish I was in the band. I just think they're ace and deserved a thread. Sorry if I sounded a bit pushy.

well i'm going to make a point of ignoring them now.

and if they ever do make it big, i'll say 'yeah, i knew them when they were unsigned'

well, it's definitely your loss, they're ace!

Finally, a thread about the Arctic Monkeys! I've been waiting ages to express my extreme ambivalence towards them!

I'll admit that they do have one good song (A Certain Romance) but everything else I've heard as been phenomenally underwhelming, and i've heard a lot of their stuff since I work at Sheffield Uni Radio and we've got a few demos lying around and hardly any of it has impressed me all that much. Fair enough that people dig their music, but I for one have not been impressed and am slightly annoyed at the sheer level of hype surrounding them.

Nice lads though, met them once when i got dragged to one of their gigs and they were decent enough.

Cool your boots, fella. I was merely speaking from personal experience - when I recommend an unsigned band you can be sure I either fancy, know or have shagged one of its members.

I had a listen based entirely on the fact that their band name is rather Mighty Boosh-esque.
They are quite good.
