I couldn't find anything about this band through a search.

New band from Damon Albarn(frontmant of Blur and Gorillaz). The bassist is from The Clash, the guitar player is from The Verve and some guy on drums. It is being produced by Danger Mouse who was at the controls for the Gorillaz final album, "Demon Days."

They have a lot of potential. Anything with Albarn and Danger Mouse is worth lsitening to after Demon Days.

You can stream they entire album on their Myspace(link above). I only listened to one track and it was pretty good. The album comes out January 23rd.

    it's pretty special, very different from Blur/Gorillaz, but I like the album, which is out in 2 weeks or so. And I'm actually a Coxon fan.

    Watched and enjoyed the Electric Proms performance on the Beeb so will be picking up the album.
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    I've already pre-ordered the album and will wait to listen to it when I get it, but I downloaded "History Song" the other day and am absolutely loving it. It sounds similar to the first 3 or 4 songs off of "Demon Days", which I also loved.

    I had listened to 'Herculean' and 'Kingdon of Doom' and it didn't impress me much. Judging by those 2 and not comparing them i would say i still prefer Gorillaz.

    fuck albarn, this band is about Paul Simonon. Gonna see them live next month in some shit venue (JBs in Dudley!!) that holds a few hundred people and they charged £20 a ticket. Only paying that to see Paul Simonon.

    I've been listening to TGBATQ vigorously of late, and recommend them. PaulJam, you'd be surprised. They're not Blurrish anyway. Top drawer political punk.

    they're not very punk-ish at all....it's mainly mellow, atmospheric, and trippy throughout the record

    The lyrics are very punkish. It is a very politically-based album lyrics-wise, I believe that is what that poster was saying.

    "Herculaneum" is the free single of the week on Itunes for those of you who haven't heard of them yet.

    Also, I heard rumors of a Blur reuion and new album in 2007 or 2008? Anyone else hear this?
  • CM1847CM1847 Posts: 577
    I've listened to it a few times now, I'm not really loving it all that much so far. Nothing bad, but a very calm album that boarders on boring a few too many times. It had the feel of a grower from the first listen, so hopefully I will "get" it eventually.

    I feel the same way. Though I don't think it will grow on me.
