BAD-ASS

their style has been described as "[b]ferocious, asphyxiating sheets of warped two-dimensional Gameboy glitches and bruising drum bombast pierce the skull with sheer shrill force, burrowing deep into the brain like a fever[/b]"

NOW GO GO GO GO

[Timechanger]

I went to a concert in November, amazing stuff, but when that strobe light comes out, you can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy. Cool stuff.

[G-Mang123]

I saw them in Seattle at the end of last year sometime. Good stuff though I'd like them try some new stuff and hopefully not end up a one-trick-pony.

[Cey22]

Crystal Thieves

I can't say I'm a huge fan of their stuff, a bit too much like Ladytron, but then not as good.

[sboyy]

Didn't they like steal an 8 bit riff from someone?

the same one timbaland stole too?

Crimewave not on here?

Vanished is the best song on the album...

I covered it on my guitar...:

[meazum]

I almost only heard Alice Practice, that was the only available song back then. New stuff is okay, but not the same stuff, no screaming which was nice.

[Vedicardi]

I thought she-ra was a he-man character

It's a good band, but tis a silly pose.

[Golden Garden G]

I personally prefer artists that make their own music, but to each his own.

[enjoi10]

[QUOTE=Gentry;13944044]It's a good band, but tis a silly pose.[/QUOTE]

I think it's kind of cool from an artistic point of view,

it's unique, usually band pictures just have the band members just standing somewhere in like a field or somewhere generic, but the bent-over-with-arms-dangling is cool.

[Gentry]

It's interesting I'll give you that. But cool, nah.

Then again, this is an entirely subjective view point so I won't labour it :P

i could only find a crap quality vid on youtube, so i didn't bother putting it up, though it is a greats song.

If quality is what you are looking for in this music I suggest you take it all down.

[minge-killer]

are you saying crystal castles doesn't make good music? >:(

[DualReaverV2]

In my opinion, they make blah music.

[Risonhighmer]

In my opinion they kick ass, and everyone knocking them is either to shallow to enjoy the wonderful sounds of the square wave, or they're jerks, or they have legit reasons to dislike them, that they haven't mentioned yet.

P.S. Alice Glass is a babe, even though she was addicted to heroin for a while.

[QUOTE=sboyy;13938784]Didn't they like steal an 8 bit riff from someone?

They entirely stole part of a song by one of my favorite chiptune artists, Covox. Ergo, I hate musicians who are thieves, so I hate them.

[quote]I personally prefer artists that make their own music, but to each his own.[/quote]
LOL, yes.

[Kirbs]

They just don't do it for me.

Nothing new, and talk about vocoder bashing, sheesh.

Each to their own I spose.

EDIT: Just read the post above mine; I'm not copying I promise.

[enjoi10]

Crystal Castles is the fucking tits,

they had the greatest live show i've ever seen! There was so many strobe lights my eyes were crying.

[Ian D]

They're pretty bad in my opinion.

When I saw them she ran round the stage with a giant light, thrusting it in peoples faces.

My ex went to a gig and Alice Glass kept spitting at the crowd, punk rock stylee.
