fun band to bash[views:5252][posts:10]____________________________________ [Nov 20,2004 9:26pm - BornSoVile ""] http://www.mtv.com/bands/az/busted/artist.jhtml Check out that video for a good laugh. "North London-based trio Busted first appeared in early 2002 with an audacious blend of BBMak and Boyzone called "What I Go to School For". The single's sugar high of saccharine pop-punk progressions, processed harmonies and cheeky curse words ("I fought my way to the front of class/To get the best view of her ass"} was a big hit with the kids, and saddled the the Busted boys with immediate sensation status. And why not? Mattie Jay, James Bourne, and Charlie Simpson were freshly scrubbed, yet fashionably skuzzy, and came complete with PG-rated potty mouths perfect for an audience raised on boy pop but newly taken with Blink-182 and Good Charlotte. Busted's eponymous debut spawned three more singles - including the number one "You Said No [Crash & Burn]" - and the trio embarked on a succesful UK tour. By July 2003 the inevitable fawning biography had appeared, and the fellows began to gear up for their bang-up follow-up. Present for Everyone appeared in December 2003. It's guitars were whinier and its vocals a bit snottier, reducing the holdover boy band elements in favor of Simple Plan-style mall punk. In January '04 Busted capped their whirlwind UK pop takeover with Brit Award nominations for Best British Group, Best British Breakthrough Artist, and Best Pop Act. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide" |

| _________________________________ [Jun 7,2005 6:57am - Kalopsia ""] true.. oh, here's a good question.... who's worse, CSDO or 13 Winters? |
| _________________________________ [Jun 7,2005 6:58am - Kalopsia ""] i'm going to go with 13 Winters, because at least one thing CSDO can say about themselves, is they do have some fans. plus their ego is nowhere near as big as 13 Winters' is. |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 7,2005 11:36am - thegreatspaldino ""] 13 winters obviously... |
