Heard this song a couple of weeks ago and seen the vid a couple of times.

Reminds me vaguely of some sort of 80's band, though I can't point a name in that direction. Anyway, enough babble, I think it is a really good song.

Oh God no, sounds very mediocre imo. Please, please could people give The Long Blondes or Metric a chance instead .

I can do better than that. The drumming sounds just like Dave Clark of the "Dave Clark Five", an irredeemedly naff and awful group from the 60s.

The Faders???? I'm 52, what do they care what I think?

The lead singer is quite hot, I wouldn't normally say that about red-heads...but yeah she is.

(I may be wrong) but I heard somewhere (I think B4) that the lead singer is Midge Ure's daughter and the drummer is some other actor's daughter.
They seem like a mediocre American band.

I thought they were a female version of Busted, until I listened to the lyrics and realised it was about getting no sleep du to having sex

But Busted sing about messing their pants as they flew over France.

Either way, both Busted and The Faders are terrible, and cashing in on whatever is cool at the moment. Oh, in my opinion

Yeah, the lead singer is well fine. Not a bad track, nothing spectacular though.

Well I could have mentioned other all girl punk bands, but they're not as famous

The Bangles?. The song reminds me of 'Walk like an Egyptian'.

Both! I've heard a radio DJ say it sounds like a mix between Iggy Pop and the Bangles!

Personally I like it!
