A Band I Love: Art Brut

Have you heard of this new band Art Brut? Of course you have you use the internet!

However for people who don't have the internet Art Brut may still sound like a new way of making fun of hipsters. They're in for a treat because Art Brut have released their may-just-be-a-classic Bang Bang Rock and Roll in America! They just released it! Like this month! The American release comes complete with three new song all of which are wonderfull. The best is "Maternity Ward." You can get them at eMusic or (if your morality is in decay) on an illegal file sharing service.

I spent Saturday afternoon the way I spend many Saturday afternoons. I worked the cash register at the local general store known as The Village Shoppe (748 Forest Ave Staten Island, NY). While there my littl brother and I rocked out in a big way while listening to Art Brut. In the perfect world old ladies and dogs would have joined in the fun. Instead it was just he and I who understood the majesty of Eddie Argos's atonal shout.

"Why don't our parents worry about us?!"
