Where's Wellwood Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I'd like to give a shout out to this wonderful Canadian band. They mostly do covers but their covers are arguably better than the originals. No doubt you've watched the first of their videos which went viral (which has about 140 million more views than any other of their videos): But their newest video is making waves. It was posted on New Years and already has more views than the majority of their videos. I think it has the potential to be in 2013 what their Gotye cover was in 2012. Plus they have original songs too like: Which do you like better and what do you think of WOTE? Link to comment
Master Mind Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I'd pick Somebody that I used to know since I like that song better and I thought it was pretty neat to see them all playing it on one guitar. And I'd say they're a good band, I haven't heard anything bad by them. My fiancee loves them, so I hear quite a bit of their music, which I don't mind. They definitely have talent though, and certainly a lot more than other popular artists. Link to comment

flapjacks Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 They're a pretty decent Canadian band! I wouldn't necessarily say that they're anything super spectacular vocal-wise, except maybe for Gianni (the long-haired guy), cause that guy has a really raw and powerful voice. I think what makes them so unique and likeable however, is their creativity, especially when they use their instruments to perform their songs. Link to comment
:D Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Watched both, they're alright. But they are only trading off of other's names until they produce decent original material. Link to comment

Master Mind Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 5 people on one guitar is cool but the beatboxer (he made it to the finals of Canada's Got Talent) is pretty awesome too. Link to comment
EX_Bert_Worshipper Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I like them because they are doing something fairly unique. I like it when bands think outside the box (e.g. the instruments The Tea Party used to use, Jimmy Page with the theramin, etc.) Link to comment

UMB Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Here's what me and my friends used to say about the Gotye video. The 4th guy looks exactly like Kesler The guy on the very right with the badass beard is a boss. He just sits there looking straight ahead like a boss. All he does is does that thing every so often with his hands. Then he just sits there. What a boss. Link to comment

Guest Gumballthechewy Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 It's too bad. The damage has already been done. Link to comment
The Hornet Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Really enjoy their original work. Link to comment
Where's Wellwood Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Poll edited to include their most recent original song. If you like that one better (as I now do), you can change your vote. Link to comment
Guest Gumballthechewy Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Wasn't there a video spoof of that first video? Link to comment
