They're overrated.

They're overrated.

[Wooderson]

what a stupid comment. they don't even have an album out yet.

[Legs]

I saw them play live 3 weeks ago. I'm entitled to base my opinion of them on that, or have I missed something? Have you seen them play, or what are you using to judge my assessment?

Apart from two okay songs and a certain charisma from the lead singer they were dull and sounded like Kings if Leon.

[Wooderson]

That's the thing, there wasn't anything to judge your assessment on, which is why it was labled a stupid comment.

You're more than entitled to give your opinion. Although it may have been helpful to back up your initial statement in your original post rather than get your nickers in a twist.

Although I am a fan of twisty nickers.

Carry on...

Supported Chase & Status in January. Were pretty good but the set was short.

[dirty_dog]

Jumping in to call something stupid rather than question it further? Mmmkaay.

[Wooderson]

who's overrating them if the general public hasn't even heard of them. their debut album is still 2 months away. just a strange comment about a band who hasn't even got going yet. if you dislike the kings of leon then it was a daft going to see Mona.

[dirty_dog]

Why do I bother. Im not gonna explain it to you if youre too f*cking stupid to understand.

I thought they sounded like Kings of Leon's better material rather than the newer gash.

Not going to be great but I'd happily watch them again.

Whelans can be a pretentious place at the best of times, which is not to say that I don't love the place.

I was at the same gig in Whelans...didn't know anything about the band, had never heard a single song, the guy who booked them recommended I drop by. They were grand, nothing special, and I was certainly surprised to see the place so rammed. Missed the Sleigh Bells gig as I was up at Ben Folds in Vicar street that night, though I asked the staff what they were like and they said Shite!...no pleasing some people! (I quite liked their album though)...I wouldn't call whelans pretentious mind you...it's hardly Krystle!

Staff told me that Sleigh Bells was one of the best received shows in years. I was blown away by 'em.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

the term "overrated" is usually used when a band has been rated of some sorts or some form of hype or possible have an album out. resorting to insults just means I've won ..........

[Wooderson]

They have loads of hype. They're hardly an underground band. It's not stupid to call them overrated at all.

[GINGERWILDCAT]

Tis mate yeh. Sleigh Bells gig was incredible though.

[ParanoidAndroid86]

Not listened to them properly but they didn't grab me on Jools a few months ago. I remember fast-forwarding in fact...the wonders of sky+!

[let's 'ave it!!!]

Out of interest, did anyone else pick up a copy of their album today? upon the first few listens I think it's a really good album! plenty of decent tunes on there. Deffo worth checking out in the JP early on the friday morning. Also seeing them tomorrow night in Camden , so shall report back!
