I fucking hate cheap breakdowns, and their entire gimmick is a never ending string of cheap, recycled, Hot Topic-core breakdowns that were all written in 2004 by straightedge emo-gone-hardcore kids.
I think I'm just an old salty elitist when it comes to "pummeling" music. They just come off as a bastardized digital hardcore band for the indie kids to me. I can definitely stand behind anyone wanting to rock the fuck out though, so more power to ya for that
I am inclined to agree with these statements, though Sleigh Bells definitely did rock the fuck out at Sasquatch last year.
Did you purchase them online or at the venue? If venue, how much did they cost?
I think they were like $15, but we bought them online and paid like a $4 service fee on each. Four bucks is worth it to me not to have to drag my ass over to the Bagdad on a weekday.
