Ive heard of them for all of ten minutes now, but the two tracks i heard on youtube from 2007 show a fair amount of 'sophistication', so i expect they have a seasoned producer behind them guiding them through - i doubt they are realdeal straight from the bedroom.

The funny thing about them is that for all the screaming and metal motifs this sounds like music that could (and probably will) be used on some kind of hollyoaks/orange county/twilight teen melodrama. Its definitely pop music, and commercial interest-friendly. Still, when I was 11 we were fed Aha, Bros and Madonna - if the industry is pushing this as its fodder its not all bad is it?

EDIT: just noticed the why this thread was revived, and checked Zzzonked - streets meets pendulum - less commerical than the other stuff 0- Hollyoaks deal is off!

To be fair to them, they're pretty diy. I think they sold out the astoria a while ago with no record deal, no radio play etc, they put their stuff out on their own label and that..

Sadly most of their music I've heard is terrible. That tune wrongspeed posted isn't utter shite though so maybe they're getting better.
