    Almost all girl band, love this, a bit Krauty a bit 4AD,  Check the Bass player.

    Not new but still cool as fuck.



    The look is very artificial almost as if they've got a stylist in. Then there's the very unsubtle use of an air blower to flick the singers locks... very manufactured... very uncool...

    To be truly cool you need dad jeans, brown velour and a tam o'shanter.


    Tam o'shanter, you say?

    I find it odd that anyone is disputing Babymetal, who are proof absolute that you can be successful, talented, and cool.

    Good. Not cool:) Cool needs individualism, cool needs to be effortless, cool can't try too hard, cool can't be manufactured. Sonic Youth (in their prime) were cool, Mazzy Star were cool, Suede most definitely were not cool, failing hugely on the trying too hard mark.

    By the way I quite liked the Novella song, just a smidgeon more originality and they'd be interesting.

    Yes but cool has always been self conscious though hasn’t it? From Lou Reed wearing sunglasss indoors, leap forward 20 years and 80s Kim Gordon is at it, cool can be picked apart easily because really it’s a bit daft.
