Biography

The band takes its name from a 1985 short film by Richard Kern and was influenced by acts such as The Velvet Underground and The Jesus & Mary Chain. Allmusic's Tim Sendra described the band as having "...knack for buzzy three-minute guitar pop tunes" and Pitchfork Media's Marc Hogan referred to their style as "...feedback-streaked guitar pop..." Their eponymous debut album was released in 2006 in the UK as vinyl-only and a 27-track compilation, entitled Burnt Out Landscapes, followed two years later. The band announced they had split on 28 June 2009 on their MySpace page.
The band reformed in 2013 with " Hating You" appearing on YouTube, and released a new album More Heat! More Panic! in March 2015.
