OK, I am by no means a metal purist, but I don't see what is good about this band. Experimental hardcore + annoying keyboards = average at best crap. If you like this kind of stuff, there are so many bands doing far better stuff. Here is a list:

The Bled - Experimental hardcore, excellent songwriters
Borg 64 - Industrial punk/hardcore, this is how you use keyboards. www.borg64.com
Alec Empire (Fururist album) - ex Atari Teenage Riot guy, very good industrial punk.
Atari Teenage Riot - Worth checking out.
Alexisonfire - Emocore, but good.

And to the members of Horse TB: making stupid faces and pretending to be insane is no longer valid marketing.

yeah i saw them live, it was very interesting. about half the people got really into them (physicaly). Mentaly i think everyone was on the same page, they put on a good show. I belive you pronounce it "Alexis On Fire" ive heard other people say "Alex Is On Fire" but it dosn't seem to flow as well.

His earlier solo stuff is more industrial, less punky.

I happened to hear Birdo today, how awesome is that? Pretty awesome indeed. Fun and stuff. I can't believe I didn't try this when I read the review, must have been the "core" word that put me off.
