What a name. What a band. An eclectic electric three piece from Reading, England; Does It Offend You, Yeah? are clearly making a name for themselves not just on the festival circuit, but on the dance scene as well. I came across this band right before I left for London in March, by the time I got there, this band was all over. It wasn't until recently, at this year's Coachella Festival in California where the band starting turning heads here in the U.S. They are the perfect hybrid of thrash and electro with some emotion thrown in. The best way to describe these guys are, picture Robert Smith of the Cure fronting Bloc Party with Justice supplying the beats. Very insane, very fun. Their debut, You Have No Idea What You Are Getting Yourself Into, is a mix of songs with vocals and just straight up instrumental tracks, much like VHS or Beta's Night on Fire. Does it Offend You, Yeah? will be hitting the road here in the states all summer with the likes of Nine Inch Nails, Bloc Party as well as the major festivals. Certainly the next band everyone will be talking about. Just remember you read them here first! Tuesday, May 6, 2008
