MyLeakyBucket Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Dunno if Yank college radio have picked up on this California three-piece yet but all I know is my fave London radio station Xfm (104.9) have been playing their debut single Diamond and Guns pretty much non-stop and is the best song I've heard in ages. Imagine LLCoolJ raping the Beastie Boys with a funky-as-hell dance track put over the top. Absolutely brilliant, hunt it down, for your sake. Can't wait for more...

MyLeakyBucket Posted April 11, 2003 Author Share Posted April 11, 2003 Haha, did some digging and have actually found it this band consists of members of punk bands Blink 182 and Rancid. Seriousl tho people check it out, wouldn't have guessed the punk influence at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganny McVagflaps Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Ohhhh really? Rancid are the goods..."Life Won't Wait" is a flawless album....dunno about Blink tho (stupid 2nd rate Screeching Weasel-rip offs). I'm gonna go on the hunt for MP3s now...

Reverend Jax Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Jyst listened to it now. Nice. Rancid is always great, and Blink's Dude Ranch album was ok. I like this song MLB, you were indeed right about this song. And you said wouldn't have guessed the punk influence at all... What's up with that? It's got this totally punk vibe to it.

Reverend Jax Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Well, now I know where I'd heard this song before. It plays in the background of a Granier shampoo commercial here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted April 12, 2003 Author Share Posted April 12, 2003 What's up with that? It's got this totally punk vibe to it. Only if you listen to it knowing about its punk roots. Even then it isn't the most prominent genre present. Anyway glad you liked it jax. Let me what you reckon 2T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganny McVagflaps Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 I got this off epitaph.com a coupla minutes after my post yesterday and I gotta say I liked it. Tim Armstrong is a always good for growling out a song and the drummer from Blink-182 is fucking great. I'm definitly gonna be on the lookout for their C.D. next time I'm in a record store. I dunno about the total punk vibe though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 I was serious about the shampoo commercial, in case someone thought it was a joke or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted April 13, 2003 Author Share Posted April 13, 2003 Ah well, I was kinda hoping it was. Still a kick ass tune though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
