friendly fires

5 reasons why friendly fires should be razed to the ground

1. They started off as a post-hardcore band. Can you, or even do you, want to imagine the mini-fires strumming their own version of Hawthorne Heights in their daddy's garage? No. Exactly.
2. They're from St. Albans, a place so boring that the only notable thing that happened their was in AD 324 when the real St. Albans had his head chopped off. And it's paired with a town called Worms.
3. NME gave their album 8 out of 10. If I bothered to waste my money on that crap, i'd make it my lifes work to only listen to albums they gave under 3/10. Noone, I repeat NOONE who says half of Crystal Castles are the most cool person in 2008 should be allowed out of the cupboard under the stairs. Interestingly, Paris also came 9th in the Latvian airplay chart.
4. They didn't put this version of Skeleton Boy on their album:

5. Their videos are utter shit! Listen to their music and you (may) think 'oooh, edgy video material' but no, instead we're fed monochrome kaleidoscopes, silver spray-painted yoga balls and confetti.


That said, there are some blody brilliant remixes of their songs out there...
