I'm one of the rulers of finding European bands that no one in the States know of yet . . .
That being said, I like the View. I'm a little upset because I expected a bit more from them, but they're all right. I'm going to see them at Lollapalooza . . . hopefully a live show will make me like them a bit more.
I quite like them. I don't think they're OMGSPECTACULAR! but they're better than I was expecting. I like that there's a bit of variety in their sound- the first cut from their album sounds more 60's classic rockish, where as "Face for the Radio" sounds more early-Beatles/Monkees-ish. I was expecting them to sound EXACTLY like the Kooks, but they don't.
bit disapointing really, they need more substance. theres only so many songs you can write about drinking, same goes to arctic monkeys... time to grow up lads.
my friend introduced me to the view (as tehre's the time when my internet broke and she started to spend the nights with looking for music instead of sleeping) and i really really like the view, there are of course better bands (OK Go, Fratellis or WAS) but it's great music for driving. And they belong to those bands i need to see live, as i want to see every good band live at least once.
