Well the drummer is American 😜 For a while I really thought this band would be one of my favourite of the decade. The debut was fucking brilliant, the B-sides were all amazing, and even when the singer left the rest of the band seemed well off judging by the first couple promos of their sophomore record ("Rebirth" and "Middle Sea"). The rest of Glow & Behold was pretty weak and overproduced though for the most part.

Jessamine sounds like British post rock and Ganger sounds like American post rock

"this band sounds like other american bands and their singer himself sounds american" isn't a stereotype.

The cobwebs? 😉

Probably a mistranslated version of 'kink' though.

Either way, I laughed.

I think kiki was merely expressing his surprise.

And I'll add that you might question the sincerity of a band that does its very best to sound American, down to the accent they take when they sing - not that I care personally, I'm just saying that for some who value sincerity, there's something, at least, funny about it, if not totally disingenuous.

At this point I'd like to state that I don't care one bit about this problem, seeing that I don't care about Yuck.

I have to admit that i only have one album of them and i didn't listen to it more then one time can't recall the fact that they have an identity issue with themself.

In general i don't care what origin a band has, if the sound appeals to me i don't even need to know

I mean the debut sounds more USA than half those 90s American alternative rock bands. The whole sound... everything about them from the way they dress to.... EVERYTHING MAKES THEM LOOK/SOUND AMERICAN!!!!

I'm just lost for words. I only just found out this half an hour and come on if someone handed you their debut album and you knew nothing about them you would assume they came from Texas or some other near by state. Would you?

Is anyone with me on this one? 😲 Please :shock:

Why do so many American bands sing with fake British accents?

Same actually. One of the only bands I remember being surprised about their nationality. Sadly, I don't see them ever releasing something as strong as their debut again, but 'Shook Down' is easily in my top 5 favourite songs of the decade.

Shame really what happened, they had tonnes of potential.
