    It sounds pretty good so far, very snappy with a lot of good electronics to add to the music.

    Its sort of Bravery meats Joy Division, Joy Division meets Ramones in terms of the sound.

    Its more punky than their previous albums.

    Yeah, I think it's pretty good.


    For a point of reference though I think KT Tunstall is vile, sick, cloying, dreadful 'music'. Fit only for 30-something Guardian readers and hifi hobbyists.

    I like KT Tunstall I'm not 30 and I don't read the guardian. I can contest to having help make members of the bravery cry when they came to a bar in manchester by pointing out at great length how and why they royally suck though. And the new strokes single sounds pretty good. They remembered to put some music in unlikely the bravery. They're kicking themselves now, I knew we forgot something, we we're too busy doing our hair and looking moody. Retards.

    I'm not overly convinced by the first couple of Strokes albums. There's some great singles on them, but can't seem to find much beyond that. Will have to give their albums another listen though.

    Any band that sounds like Television crossed with the Ramones has definitely got merit though!

    What are The Bravery like? I don't think I've ever heard anything of theirs.

    Bravery are just like an electro version of most other indie bands right now. I quite like their song 'unconditional' but can't listen to the whole album as it bores me to tears.

    I really like the Stroke's new album. I'd say the first album was good, the second just stereotyped their sound, which was pretty boring all in all, then with this third they've actually done something new. There's a couple of lame songs in the middle of the album, but the beginning and end have great foottappers!
