Hadouken! may well be 2008's Klaxons,

Jesus being 2007's Hadouken was bad enough.

Ah. Didn't realise they were that old already - couldn't find a thread and thought I'd start one now the album's on the way

As a sucker for gimmicks and packaging, I bought their USB stick mixtape last year. It sounded like a seriously compressed MP3 (I think it was 128 kbps, too - why would they do that?). But tunes-wise I couldn't make it through more than a couple minutes.

Isn't their trump card that the singer/producer guy has totally legitimate "grime" credentials?

God, the NME is well into its standard end-of-decade 'desperately floundering around for something to latch on to' stage now isn't it?

LOL at this as a trump card.

He was the producer in a crew from Watford that no-one ever really cared about.

I don't care if I never hear this band again but there have already been maybe 10 worse albums released this year (that I've heard) than the Hadouken! one

these guys were DJing at a club i was doing visuals at the other night and they made me feel about 100 they looked so little
