Nice. You're the first person I've seen to mention these guys.

Pretty good album. Might make it into the top 20.

#15 disqualifies you.

actually that album is quite good. but i'll admit it's there for humor/entertainment/novelty/nostalgia moreso than it's musical prowess.

Never got around to getting the Chumbawamba, but the tracks I heard were very strong. They've ditched the politdancepop and have plowed right into folk.

"on with their apathy."
that's the name we coined after seeing them,
but I'm not sure why
probably because I wasn't impressed
or because I'm a hater at heart.

fether - yes the band has a whole new sound to surround their vocals. i'm always giving a RIYL Belle & Sebastian for that album but something like Peter, Paul, and Mary might be more accurate (if PP&M covered Clash songs)

that Off With Their Heads LP (or mini-album, whatever you call something with only 8 or 9 songs) is very strong. not sure about live but the record rips.
