Never heard of them. What do they sound like.

davenotdead 04.22.2008 09:26 PM

they sound like Liars/Boredoms/No Age in a new LA kinda way

forkimified 04.22.2008 09:42 PM

they're like lo fi sonic boredoms with lots of reverb or something. i think they're pretty swell. bought their self titled cassette.

khchris(original) 04.22.2008 09:48 PM

don't see the NO AGE or Boredoms influence…Liars, possible.

they are very percussion heavy.

atari 2600 04.22.2008 09:56 PM

PAULYBEE likes 'em especially. They're on the new Crystal Castles, which is an okay outing.

Everyneurotic 04.22.2008 10:12 PM

did u move to LA suddenly? cory kennedy and health duderz are la

dionysusundone 04.22.2008 11:06 PM

Yeah, they're a bit Liars, but more danceable. And not in the dance punk kinda way, just in the so much percussion going on it's almost a techno thing way.
They get some cool sounds.

no i have spent a considerable amount of time there though but i would NEVER want to live there

batreleaser 04.23.2008 12:51 AM

they are extremly average, but they do rock in an ac/dc rockin kinda way live.

definitley not the best la has to offer when taking into account no age, mika miko, and especially the mae shi.

cryptowonderdruginvogue 04.23.2008 01:16 AM

i love health

vulva 04.23.2008 01:25 AM

Very fun band, not the greatest or anything but I enjoy them immensely. They were great fun live though, despite their prancing about on stage =\. Their show with Crystal Castles was one of the funnest shows I've ever been to. I also have to thank them for helping me develop an interest in Crystal Castles when I saw they did a split together. I nearly shat a brick when I saw they were playing in my town

Cantankerous 04.23.2008 01:25 AM

crimewave (crystal castles vs health) is awesome

love no age! mika miko are extremely average. mae shi are average but their shows really make them respectable. but the health cd is imo the best cd over anything mika miko/mae shi put out. weirdo rippers is amazing and i probably luv that one just as much. i would say right now HEALTH is the band of the moment in LA. they're getting more & more popular. i'm not sure if HEALTH is the best LA has to offer but one of definitely at the moment.

a danceable liars? not sure if this person's getting HEALTH mixed up with another band. i'm trying to find a good comparison, but i really can't to be honest. i could always try and force a comparison and say a tribal cock esp/liars but even that would be inaccurate. i think HEALTH are HEALTH.

keep an eye on this band…they're gaining momentum! the HEALTH cd is amazing.

pokkeherrie 04.23.2008 07:10 AM

i'll probably give them a shot when they play here in a few weeks to see what they are like live.
there's quite a buzz around them at the moment it seems, but the things i've heard from them so far don't really justify that.

SYRFox 04.23.2008 07:32 AM

I find them great, their album really is good. Triceratops owns!

PAULYBEE2656 04.23.2008 08:01 AM

as atari said, i really like em. but they are gonna get swallowed up in the whole crystal castles , i hate using this word but, scenester hip thing and probably the next album will be poor.. i fear a rature like downfall for them in the opposite direction of their popularity.. but the lovepump united album is excellent so ill leave it at that for now.....
