Wow, I now think you guys are totally right about We Are Scientists. I've heard more buzz about them in the last week than for any band in a long time.

Not eoungh poeple in We Are Scientists.

I'm going with Wolf Parade. Critics these days seem to love lots of people in a band.

I haven't heard these guys, bu they allegedly sound like a radio-friendly Interpol. They are a Geffen band that is priming their pump on myspace.

I take it this is the harbinger of the coming commercialization of indie rock.

It's 1991 all over again…

I personally am not hyping this band, but you're pretty correct, it's Interpol sounding although not as "accessible" or "radio friendly" as people are making out. I could see them being a big OC-type band.

Thanks for blowing the lid off of that one. I'll be in Madrid.

Would you say they will help make indie the new mainstream?

Much like Creed helped make alternative the new mainstream in 1991…

Good. The less cigarette smoke in the tapas bars, the better.

Some of the other DJs on Kool Rock Radio played them so much the past 1/2 year that I'm sick to death of them now. They are fairly decent if you like them but I've had my fill and pretty much agree with everything said above.

they are okay…i think they're playing with electric six too…i will probably end up at that show so i'll decide how much i like them after that. what i've heard recorded is only alright. it still sounds too similar to me to the other stuff that is being put out

To be honest, this board isn't the best place to be asking about "breakout" bands of 2006. The drug of choice for most of you is Geritol! Ever hear of the term DADROCK? Look in your music collection. :p

No shit! Either that or NME/Pitchfork sanctioned over-hyped bandwagoneers.
