RIP

I don't think it can really be claimed that The Stills or The Music changed the face of anything. Also Franz Ferdinand's debut came out in 2004 and Bloc Party's in 2005 but hey.

Hot Hot Heat released one really solid album followed by two piles of crap.

Also Franz Ferdinand's debut came out in 2004 and Bloc Party's in 2005 but hey.

It all kind of blends together though, doesn't it? 2004 was really the year (HI DERE Livvertines); and "Banquet" was def. getting play before the end of the year.

HI DERE Maximo Park

Hot Hot Heat
Franz Ferdinand
Bloc Party

^^all great debuts

if you included maximo park and the futureheads you'd have 2 more bands w/ great debuts

This is officially the low point of ILX.

Actually it (Make Up the Breakdown) was Hot Hot Heat's second album. Their first had a hardcore-y singer.

This is officially the low point of ILX

Aw... WAT I DO?

i think he is referring to me riding for bloc party/futureheads/maximo park

but i mean that's no surprise coming from dom

dombot territory

Does Keane fall in this group or they merely a Snow Patrol auxiliary? Need to be lined up against the wall for their Cult cover anyway...

yeah i wanna lump keane in here too for some reason. that was a great debut.

Note that this is not necessarily a "great debuts" thread. Opinions are those of individual posters only.

As far as the OP's concerned this is the LOL 2003/2004 Teh Year Wat Changed EVERYTHING thread...

eh idk

i thought it was lol 2001 the strokes/teh white stripes/teh viens/teh hives the year that changed EVERYTHING

Two of those bands are actually still sorta with us!

Three if you count Teh Strokeses!

If you can't see the influence of the Futureheads in every aspect of our cultural life (at least, that cultural life that represents us at our best) I don't know what to tell you.

The Music

In autumn 2004, they released their second album Welcome to the North (#8) and the accompanying single Freedom Fighters (#15), before touring with the band Incubus. In January 2005, a second single Breakin' reached #20. August 2005 saw the band play at the dual-venue V Festival. In late 2006 they played a few UK gigs and subsequently posted on their site the video new song entitled, Fire, which revealed both their latest sound as well as Harvey's new shaved head look. Their website also has a video of Kill 100 by X-Press 2 featuring Rob Harvey. This video seems to be hidden, but if you right click the video while Fire is playing and select play,Kill 100 plays. Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters is said to be a huge fan of the band, and after seeing them at the V Festival used their smash hit single "The People" as the last warm up track for all their gigs in 2005.

seriously though, whatever happened to corey haim?

That bit where the dude from the Thrills goes 'ooh!' in the chorus to that song is still the worst musical moment of the 00s.

Why do people keep saying HI DERE?

Bands claiming to be influenced by the Gang Of Four: WAHT IS IT MADE?

Jesus fuck, that Hot Hot Heat album was the first one I remember as a music reviewer where I was like "Why does everyone but me love this album?"

Fucking boring then, fucking boring still. It's like seeing nostalgia for fucking Collective Soul or fucking Seven Mary Three.

Again I am confused. Where is this nostalgia of which you speak?

Bump for Louis XIV/Hot Hot Heat/Editors nostalgia tour lulz.

[UNSEEN NARRATOR, OVER CLIP MONTAGE] the year was 2002, war was in the air, and a scrappy 4-piece from british columbia was teaching indie-rock kids to dance through their pain. ironically, their song "bandages" was pulled from some radio stations during the lead-up to war in iraq

[H.P MACAVOY, ROLLINGSTONE.COM] there was really this pent-up energy.
[LIL KIM] the hot who?
[SOME 40-YEAR-OLD ACTRESS KNOWN FOR PLAYING A HIP MOM ON A SITCOM] "bandages"! oh my god. i loved that song. how did it go? bandages on my arms and legs... sounded painful.
[CLIP SECZNICK, ALLTHEWORLDSABLOG] they were one of these bands that kind of came out of nowhere. and then went back.
[CARLOS MENCIA] what kind of name is that? HOT heat?
