Yo,

A friend of mine's band (claim...) from the UK are currently touring North America. They always put on a sick show and they are also the most chill guys ever.

I won't bother trying to explain the type of music they play, just check out http://www.myspace.com/theheavy or their performance on the David Letterman show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds3yl7YjVyM

I thought i'd let you all  know in case you can make it to a show near you. I would love it if any Newschoolers can show some support, I promise you'll have a sick night in return.  

Peace

isn't it their song in the kia stuffed animal commercial?  or maybe i'm just confused.  but if it was they must have made bank off being used in a super bowl spot.

Yeah that's them in the Kia commercial. I've heard them played on all sorts, MTV movie awards recently as well. Unfortunately they don't really make bank off stuff like that but at least they're starting to get some recognition over here.

When I saw their picture, I thought "oh no this is gonna be a bunch of hipsters playing shitty indy rock" then I listened to their music just to be sure. Boy was I wrong. This band is sick. I wanna go see them pretty badly now. from the few samples on myspace, I would have to say they play around with some reggae and some funky kinda disco stuff as well as a few other genres. Good music though.

I dig them. I've heard them before. Messed around with some edits to them.

I still like the heavy pets better though. completely different other than name.
