Art Brut: Bang Bang Rock & Roll

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Though widely available as an import and through legal download services for some time, Art Brut's debut, Bang Bang Rock & Roll, has been kept off American shelves by the vagaries of the record industry until recently. That's a strange fate for a band so dependent on immediacy. The legend goes that Art Brut assembled, then wrote the song "Formed A Band" ("Look at us, we formed a band!") to mark the occasion, and on almost every track, singer Eddie Argos seems just to be going off on whatever first crosses his mind.
