YOUR verdict, Week Eight.

[The Curmudgeon]

This band represents the way the net has changed the way I access new music. This band have never been played on any of the music channels (that I've seen), they've never been reviewed or mentioned in any of the music magazines I buy and you can't even BUY their albums in the UK.

So it's all down to the net for this week's video, and a free (legal) download of the same song. And through the net and the likes of Amazon and ebay I finally completed their entire back catalogue today.

Mates of State, a married couple who tour the country with their son playing melodic, catchy, piano based indie pop songs. And if you look up MILF in a dictionary, chances are Kori would be up there with the best.

Love them.

How'd I miss this before? Not a big synthesizer fan, but that was some damn good stuff.

Dude... when it comes to MILFcentric mother-father-child bands, my money goes to Dr. Fünke’s 100% Natural Good-Time Family Band

That's my way of saying this song made me want to puncture my eardrums. Don't even get me started on the film-school drop out video.

Ohh, now then, who have we here? Some new blood, I see. Cutting comment on Mates of State aside, welcome. And any reference to Arrested Development gets the big thumbs up in my book.
