Synopsis

Album Description

In 1976, punk fanzine Sniffin' Glue drew a diagram for its readers. 'This is a chord,' they revealed. 'This is another. Now form a band.' To Art Brut, five men from the lawless hinterlands of south London, it must have all looked just a bit too demanding. As a result their debut, 'Formed A Band', is the most brilliantly simple single of 2004 so far. Pretty much anyone could do this - nick a few ideas from The Fall & Wire, rev up some guitars & then get a smart-arse to rant over the top. This NME single of the week is backed with 'Bad Weekend'. Rough Trade. 2004.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"First off, the bass player is a woman, so the band is not comprised of "five guys," as this page claims. Take that, amazon!

Next, this band is great, and even though I've only heard these songs and a few others off their various demos, I'll be damned if they're not one of the best new Britrock bands to come out recently. I'd sum them up at 60% The Fall, 30% Libertines, and 10% Ikara Colt. I just wish they'd tour the U.S.!"
