Verily, doth this cause you affront?

Does it Offend You, Yeah? first got onto my musical radar because of their weird, weird name. They stayed there for a long time until they popped up, stealthily, on a bored, what-shall-we-do(wn)-now afternoon. "You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into" the album title read. Well, neither did I.

Neither did I.

At first, I - grasping at straws by now - compared them to WRM, but that didn't match up. White Rose Movement is rather awesome too (will be subject of a next post, I promise) , but DIOYY transcend the genre - if there even is one to speak of.

I would totally understand you if you had no clue what I was talking about so here's a few a clinks: We Are Rockstars, and my personal favorite Doomed Now. Doesn't come across half as well as the original but what can you do? You could download the original,wink, wink, nudge, nudge. It makes me happy!

Nice stuff from them. I heard of them down at SxSW but hadn't heard them.

I have another band I think you'll dig. Do you have an email where I could send an mp3?
