I love them too, but can certainly understand why people don't.  They are a marmite band, if ever there was one

Ha, so true. I think they're tremendous, but if people tell me they don't like them I think "I completely understand"

Would really love them to play but it won't be a complete disaster if they don't as I'm planning to see them twice in May

Solus and Dot to Dot?

One of the best bands to come from the last decade. Three phenomenal albums that have sadly been overlooked.

They'll blow up mega style sometime soon

Yeah I got a ticket for the Solus show ages ago and there are quite a few bands I want to see at Dot to Dot other than Los Campesinos! so I'm going to make a trip home that weekend for the festival

NO. i genuinely think they are crap. they are so wet, out of tune and their plinky plonky pop is ... well crap. as i can see, a few people on here think differently. but there are so many great artists in the world, why waste your ear time on these wet lettuces.

and for the record i saw them at the park stagea few years back and i have heard many of their songs on the rad'io.

Wow, some people really do hate them. I've always thought of them as a marmite band but never realised the people who didn't like them felt so passionately about it

I remember when that article first came out. A few people I know got quite angry about it. I still think its hilarious, particularly...

I liked his "Twee is a frequently reoccurring herpes virus under the foreskin of the popcock and Los Campesinos! are the weeping sore."

Sadly missed is Steven Wells.

And now a year and a half later, who is Still Alive? Guess Los Camp had the last laugh on this one
