Rassicker 45,839 views. What a band name! Does It Offend You, Yeah? Seemed to be everywhere around the time they released their debut album, the wicked You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into in 2008. I must’ve seen them at five festivals that summer alone, including Beach Break and Glastonbury, as well in Manchester at a dance event. The rave-rock band formed in 2006 in Reading by James Rushent and Dan Coop but it wasn’t long until they added members to flesh out their live experience. Each one of their live shows I saw was unpredictable – their sets contained a sort of raw energy missing from dance music, along the lines of Crystal Castles. Musically, they mixed electro and rock, a lot like Justice and Daft Punk but with more of an indie sound. Tracks like ‘We Are Rockstars’ and ‘With a Heavy Heart (I Regret to Inform You)’, the latter being my absolute favourite song of 2008, were intensely heavy and hectic to see performed live, with the band members thrashing around the stage and the crowds pretty much moshing. They were particularly great at Glastonbury, hyping the crowd up into a frenzy while the frontman jumped on speakers. I’ve heard that they are now on an indefinite hiatus. Their rocking new wave is sorely missed, especially at festivals!
