Holy F***?
I've been listening to the debut album from a Canadian band called Holy Fuck for a few weeks and I think it's fantastic. It's driving, epic electronic/instrumental music similar to Battles in some ways.
I think they've been opening for Wolf Parade for the past few months, here's a sample of them live that gives a good idea what they sound like:

It's a catchy name for an unknown band. I saw this thread titled "Holy Fuck" and I just had to open it up and see what's inside, Doubt I would done that if they were called "The Birdwatchers" . If they get any level of success, I'm sure they can shorten it to: "Holy F!" or something like that.

Decent for an instrumental band, but I wish it was more build up to amazement rather than mostly the same thing going on through most of the song. Instrumentals don't work as well without the crescendo or an amazing riff...or a nice groovy beat.

Don't mean to thread crap or sound like a jerk..... maybe I'm too old, but I don't understand electronic music at all. I saw a drummer and a guitarist... cool... and then there are two guys pushing buttons and turning knobs or something jumping around and the whole tune is "beep beep beep beep, det det det det, dah dah dah dah, beep beep beep beep" (repeat 58 times)
I have a friend who likes this stuff and whenever I go to his place at night he puts it on and I just scratch my head... but he always has hot girls over that likes it too that he hooks up with, so maybe I suck. ha ha. I really do want to "get it"

I'm seeing these guys with Super Furry Animals. I'm very excited.
