Alternative rockers
A mix punk
attitude, spacey Moog synth,
and Britpop-influenced guitar rock with bratty, juvenile humor. The group debuted in 1997 with How
Ace Are Buildings but
achieved their first widespread release in the U.S. with 2000's
A vs.
Monkey Kong.
Although they toured behind it, they didn't make too big of
a splash
and decided to re-enter the studio soon
after promoting the release. The resulting
album,
Hi-Fi Serious, was more poppy
and powerful,
and was released in the summer of 2002.
