If Yeah Yeah Yeahs wrote a song called New Politic, that would be the coolest.

I'm with Shadowscorp on this one, I'm afraid. It's unique, but I can't for the life of me get into this song at all.

It's kinda catchy, but it's not really clicking with me as well.

It's probably doing well because of how catchy it is. The song definitely caught my attention on the first listen. Now that I've let it sink in, it's certainly catchy, and has somewhat of a unique sound, but it just seems kind of disposable. And I could see it getting very annoying after a while.

I don't get it. There's no full-length out or even mentioned, the band seemingly sprang up overnight, the song is extremely mediocre, and it's in the Top 30 in two weeks. Bull. Sh**.

What I found rather surprising is that these guys aren't even American. They're Dutch.

Oh really? Are they the only Dutch band to chart other than Within Temptation?

There are way better dutch bands than either New Politics or Within Temptation. Seriously, the band Textures puts both to shame, but America probably won't catch on to them unfortunately. Their song "Awake" is absolutely beautiful and would do some damage at active if promoted correctly and with the bridge edited out. "Messengers" is even more beautiful, but it's probably a bit too depressing for American radio, unless people want a song as depressing as NIN - "Hurt".

They're a bit too on the "experimental" side of Metalcore for Radio to catch onto them, if promoted of course. A good band nonetheless. I also enjoy the female-fronted, Symphonic Metal band, Delain... for obvious reasons  |

Haha. In my humble opinion, the lead singer is rather attractive, yes. I would pluck out a picture, but there are far too many to choose from. I suggest you google them ;)

From their website: New Politics Self-Titled Debut Album In Stores July 13th! On July 13th we'll be releasing our debut self-titled album, New Politics, on RCA, and we couldn't be more excited! Here's a first peek at the tracklisting and album cover. lists-rca.sonybmgemail.com/t/6909215/33263309/475732/0/We had many different ideas and concepts, but this one really jumped out at us and was executed beautifully. Without going too deep with it, it's an identity. It's simply 'The flower, the brain & nucleus.' Enjoy and create/connect the dots... interpret it how you will. You can pre-order the album on Amazon. iTunes Pre-order coming soon! |

Heard this recently. I don't like everything that charts, but I can usually understand the success, at least. This one just perplexes me. Yuck.
