wow. so much hating.

i actually dig a couple of their songs. and at 34 i'm sure i'm not there target audience. no, they are nowhere near as talented (or if they are it doesn't come across in their songs) as Mr Bungle, but i like when people try to mesh song types together. a lot of Attack Attack's stuff doesn't do it for me, but they do have a couple interesting songs. which is way more than can be said for 90% of the people releasing albums.

Personally, I think I Set My Friends On Fire could totally beat the crap out of Attack! Attack! in a fight.*

The music is better and tends to be more inventive, plus they have a very good sense of humor about the whole thing.**

Do they use auto-tune? Yeah, but they also covered Soulja Boy. Unlike Attack! Attack! who seem to believe auto-tune usage is some amazing thing, ISMFOF use it more to parody how ridiculous its gotten.

Just for reference, here's Smosh and ISMFOF performing Four Years Foreplay:

Four Years Fourplay




*This extends to bar room brawling and music-making.
**This is only my opinion, you may feel differently.

sex ed is better :hyper::bassist:
 
It's good to see some hardcore fans on the boards! lol

Which is understandable, because hardcore isn't really great for bass. I was listening to attack attack a while ago, and decided to pick up my bass and try to play along.
it's really simple, and they use alot of the same chord progressions.
 
I will be the first to admit it: I crab core, all night long!

Please do not refer to this band as hardcore. Hardcore is NOT this crap.
