It's like someone took this dude, added some millennnial-stereotype attitude Canadian content, and decided to turn the end product into a chart-topping band.

More importantly, the main dude Nasir Atweh sounds INSUFFERABLE in this profile from the Canadian Press. But which bro koan is his best worst offering? YOU MAKE THE CALL. Happy Canada Day!

"Asking what kind of genre we are is like asking a totally reasonable question, depending on context."

Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 20:03 (eleven years ago)

Why you gotta be so rude? Don't you know he's human too?

asthmatic american, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 20:05 (eleven years ago)

You see yourself as a fron

ciderpress, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 20:05 (eleven years ago)

As a fromage.

"We're nothing like regular bands," said Atweh, clad in a lemon-yellow T-shirt and shorts. "Our band are the most chill dudes. I find I've met a lot of musicians, (but) I think that we are the most approachable that I've seen so far with people."

it's quite an achievement how even though asking for a daughter's hand in marriage is ridiculous and creepy and actually rejecting your daughter's marriage is awful, there's really no choice here but to take the father's side and be really really sympathetic towards him in every way

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Thursday, 3 July 2014 02:03 (eleven years ago)

and it just doesn't make sense! how is it rude? you asked a question giving him two choices and he answered it! why would you ask that question if you're going to respond to one half of the possible answers by accusing him of being out of bounds? that is how a toddler acts! you sound like a toddler. fucking "i'm human too" fuck dude you asked a question! he didn't even answer it particularly rudely!

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Thursday, 3 July 2014 02:11 (eleven years ago)

Tough luck, my friend, 'cause the answer's still 'No"

that is literally the nicest possible way he could've said it

how many ppl are gonna have this played during their wedding receptions, I wonder (preferably right after "One" by U2)

Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Thursday, 3 July 2014 15:19 (eleven years ago)

Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Thursday, 3 July 2014 15:21 (eleven years ago)

i was thinking about the potential wedding play too

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Thursday, 3 July 2014 23:16 (eleven years ago)

can't wait to see all my jewish cousins reggae dancing next summer

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Thursday, 3 July 2014 23:17 (eleven years ago)

Playing this at a wedding should be considered a curse on the newly-married couple.

noir-ish need apply (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 4 July 2014 00:25 (eleven years ago)

There is a song on their album called "One Woman One Man," which I doubt is about what it sounds like its about, but still, who is stupid enough to name a song that in 2014 without knowing (or caring) about the implications?
