Are you missing the point? They are rock. They're as techno as Skylab,
which isn't saying much. (imho, of course)
They make no bones about being an 'indie' band ... look at their choices
of bands to remix. That's the best part about them - it's fun ... and I'd much
rather hear the Chem's than Baby D. (in regard to being overplayed)
Yes most of their stuff sounds the same - but look at the Jedi Knights as a
comparison. It yields the same results > jaded hip-hop/electro/acid samples
with cheese vocoder. Fun, too, but certainly not innovative.
And if you wanna talk about 'rock' in techno - Orbital, Underworld, Aphex,
etc ...
It's all rock 'n' roll.
Afraid he's gonna get hate mail ...
