i'd say their really experimental... they definitely have a punkish quality to them but they use a lot of different instruments, especially on the new record (POWER). But if you want a good introduction to them, get NO KILL NO BLEEP BLEEP, it's not as experimental as the other two. songs to download:
hooray for humans y plus white girl kiss distinctly american soft pyramids recreation myth no damage nocturne throw back your head dine wonderful people beautiful beats

they're probably my second favorite band all time since power was such a damn good release...
they're always changing and trying something different and make it sound good...
no kill no beep beep is a dueling guitars masterpiece
different damage is just that...different, but really catchy and fun
power isn't even out yet (technically), but it's dancin' and rockin' and just awesome...
also, they are a very political band, which you might not perceive at first...their lyrics are different, more complex than atdi in many cases...just an awesome band...and the only band that ALL of my friends love...

Q and not U are the musical chameleons that shroud themselves from the "genre branding" music critics. They evolve after each album is completed. I strongly advise following this band in order. as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd album...just like a book. Q¬U's 1st full length is an outstanding and refreshing breath of fresh air. Chaotic riffs and cooing. Matt Borlik's bass riffs adds something special to this debut. fave tracks 1) a line in the sand 2) And the Washington Monument (Blinks) Goodnight 3) Fever Sleeves 4) Nine Things Everybody Knows#nosmileys Different Damage is where the Q'sters started to experiment. Matt Borlik left the band so both singers switched off with bass. The Music evolved from their previous effort. more keyboards, more songs with slower tempo, and the melodies are even more mesmorizing. You still feel the ghost of NO BEEP BEEP, but only in a few songs. fave tracks 1) Soft Pyramids 2) Air Conditions 3) Meet Me in the Pocket 4) Snow Patterns 5) Recreation Myth i prefer the slower songs on this one and Power, (which isn't out yet) but was leaked out in the net like so many albums....almost mandatory. THanks Motherprussia, yah bearded bastardis just out there. they are not scared to reinvent there influences. once again showing there "chameleon" tendencies...Q and not U don not imprison themselves within the genre, they make it obsolete...from punk to "prince" like guitar riffs....like i said before, a breath of fresh air.... fave tracks 1) wonderful people 2) LAX 3) throw back your head 4) beautiful beats 5) collecting diamonds some good EP jams are X-polynation EP version book of flags EP version 10,000 animal calls Busy Lights, Busy Carpet all there albums are impecable... #nosmileys#nosmileys#nosmileys
