I think vice versa actually, it is a nice video but after seeing it once I was like "yeah, bombs and shit... next?" the song is pretty weird, I think they're not choosing good songs to release. Like the one where they broke computers with baseball bats - clearly not a good idea for a single but it got the message that they're not your typical band...

^^^ if you actually listened to the song you wouldn't reply with a gay comment
anyway, threy are at the forefront of the british alternative scene. they're riding that beast of a wave with the likes of oceansize anf biffy clyro. the singles they've released are not the best. rapt.dept isn't their best, but it's better than most band's best.

There's similarities and examples in their music, I agree.

Yourcodenameis:milo are certainly not at the forefront of british alt music, saying such a thing only proves ignorance, if you took the time to actually find out about other british bands im sure you'd find loads of better bands that yourcodenameis:milo. and that is a fact. and craig asked for my opinion so i gave it, and if you didnt like it then thats entirely your problem.

played with 65 days of static last night.
they were good but not awesome. all the parts for awesomeness were there but something to make me think wow amaing wasn't.
the only reason i make note of this is because people had lead me to believe that they were awesome.
anyway, british bands who are awesome and much better than your code name is: my singer can't sing and our music is.... ok are: youth movie soundtrack strategies, edmund fitzgerald, bilge pump, wolves (of greece), that fucking tank, charlottefield, Jarcrew and people who aren't bands : aphex twin (duh!), four tet, squarepusher (double duh!) and Roots Manuva. Can't think of anymore right now.

thanks ben, i'll take over the list, for now The fall, Wire, cove, joeyfat, bearsuit, part chimp, todd, hey colosus, trencher, mogwai, electrelane, lords, montana pete, stereolab. if anyone else wants to add some feel free, BUT they actually have to be an ace band better than Yourcodenameis:milo.

Kill Yourself, The Playwrights, The A-Lines, That Fucking Tank, We Start Fires.
Even the bigger ones are better, Help She Can't Swim, Primal Scream, The Beat Up, Etc.
