Figure8

I got "Its A Bit Complicated" cause one of my friends insisted i'd love them, and I do. The lyrics are some of my favorite in a long time lines like "You're worried and I have my doubts / But I'm drunk when I text / So I send 'post soothing out'", "I'm nothing to my peers but envy and hatred / How many girls have they seen naked?" and "People in love, lie around and get fat / I didn't want us to end up like that" make me really happy.

I don't know who to compare them to, there (most) similar artists on lastfm are, the Rakes, the Futureheads and the Libertines, no idea if thats true or not since I havnt listened to much of any of those bands in awhile and lastfm isn't accurate at all on some bands.

I really love the new album. I love them even more as a live act. Eddie Argos is hilarious/awesome to watch onstage. I saw them last fall in Philly and at one point in the show he just jumped offstage and ran through the crowd, punch-drunk. It was one of the most fun shows I've been to.

My boyfriend stopped wearing jeans after he listened to Nag Nag Nag Nag.

"Wet trousers from the washing machine.. but I'd rather be damned than seen in jeans.."

swear to god, he hasn't worn jeans for 3 months now!! Do you think he's mentally ill?

Figure8

No, Jeans suck.

i love Art Brut, seen them co headline with Tom Vek, must have been about 3 yrs ago now, so damn funny, Eddie Argos was dancing about like fool during sound check!

LikelyLad

Love Art Brut, would'nt necessarily say that they sound like The Libs, Futureheads or The Rakes though....mistake by lastfm

Toiletduck

I like Art Brut, ive got their Bang Bang Rock and Roll album, i love Formed A Band, My Little Brother and Emily Kane, top tunes!

Just torrented (I know I'm a terrible person) both their albums and I must say it is awesome. I think they do sound a tiny bit like the Libs but seem to take themselves a lot less seriously. Fun music.

To be fair i'm a big Libs fan but, i can't see the similarities at all? Maybe thats just me though? Maybe Half Man Half Biscuit, but The Libertines?

Figure8

Blame lastfm, I couldn't really think of any similar bands. They're kind of like the british hold steady I suppose, minus the springsteen with added punk.

Listening to them more and more I am beginning to depart from my original view. I don't think they sound like the Libs at all right now. Perhaps it is unfair though to type them into Pandora or Lastfm. They are pretty damn unique... :P
