		Pre-release buzz for the Spree's third LP centered as much on the band's shift from robes to fl combat garb as on their new songs, and here the group channel its positive collective energy into a more focused political solidarity.
		More than most any pop band, ABBA often seem a very adult band, writing songs squarely set in the adult (as opposed to adolescent or teenage or college-age) world, coping with adult emotions, and particularly adult compromises and disappointments.
		We talk to Simon Taylor-Davis about everything from his band's debut, James Ford (Simian Mobile Disco)-produced Myths of the Near Future to the "ball of love" that is Charlotte Church to his Lovefoxxx tattoo.

	Outsider Art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Outsider Art has emerged as a successful art marketing category (an annual Outsider Art Fair has taken place in New York since 1992); thus the term is sometimes misapplied as a catch-all marketing label for art created by people outside the "art world" mainstream, regardless of their circumstances or the content of their work.
		Art Brut was his solution to this problem - only Art Brut was immune to the influences of culture, immune to being absorbed and assimilated, because the artists themselves were not willing or able to be assimilated.
		Art Brut: Raw art, 'raw' in that it has not been through the 'cooking' process: the art world of art schools, galleries, museums.

		Art Brut, on the other hand write anthems that, whilst jagged and angular, have hooks that keep you chanting along (Art Brut don’t do singing) for weeks.
		The band themselves say they're "working towards world peace", but with this near-perfect slice of guitar noise, it sounds like they want to rip the system (or the record industry, at any rate) apart at the seams.
		It couldn’t be a better introduction to the band; the two tracks on this debut single form what could possibly be the greatest debut single of the year.

		Art Brut come onto the stage to much applause, their die-hard fans and ‘franchises’ (other bands playing covers of their songs) are what pretty much every up-and-coming band would die for.
		Introducing a new guitar player, the band seem a little ragged at the start (well, more than usual) with the trademark, “Are we ready Art Brut?” quote from lead singer Eddie Argos less effective than usual due to a slower response from the band.
		But the fear that Art Brut won’t be able to continue to do this on a larger stage remains.

		To Art Brut, five men from the lawless hinterlands of south London, it must have all looked just a bit too demanding.
		There is much to distrust about Art Brut, not least the fact that two members of the band are called, respectively, Chris Chinchilla and Freddy Feedback.
		I can't decide whether Art Brut are clever people pretending to be stupid who aren't as smart as they think they are or stupid people pretending to be clever who are brighter than they realise.

	Art Brut - Bang Bang Rock and Roll - Review - Stylus Magazine
		Art Brut’s music is, arguably, not much more or less unique than Kasabian, Kaiser Chiefs, or whatever neo-[older genre] band we like to hate, but they certainly don’t try to set the world on fire as they deliver previously-created music with a monsoon of creative bite.
		Art Brut’s instrumental aptitude comes in a distant third behind their compositional formatting and lead singer Eddie Argos’ relentless energy, but the band’s crashing percussion, tube-driven guitar ferocity, and fat bass lines all prove vital to Bang Bang Rock and Roll’s success.
		Art Brut doesn’t just slap a melody and guitar parts on top of a cool chord progression—they write each part with a distinct purpose and, almost always, deliver.

	Tiny Mix Tapes: Art Brut
		The rumor is that the band quickly started writing “Formed A Band,” the lead-off single from their debut album Bang, Bang Rock and Roll.
		Art Brut are completely ironic because they say they’re just messing around, but in fact, they’re terribly talented.
		It’s surprisingly comforting to hear a band like this come along and put everything in perspective, making you fall in love with music relating to your life, instead of becoming so grandiose and impersonal as most music has in recent years.

	Art Brut: Bang Bang Rock and Roll - PopMatters Music Review
		And, bless 'em, Art Brut are the latest, a welcome change from the rather polite norm of recent years.
		A song as cute and charming as "Formed a Band" was audacious, it was written by Argos with the genuine hope that he could win back his girlfriend (yes, named Emily Kane) from 10 years prior.
		Hopefully Art Brut will stick around a little longer; as "Emily Kane" and "Good Weekend" prove, they have the potential to become something more than just a bunch of wise-asses singing about how they formed a band.

	Article :: Art Brut Point/Counterpoint (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The easiest way to tell this band is British is the accent, but the particular humor of many of the songs might also be a tip-off.
		Art Brut’s magnificent debut album, much like the other Great Institutions of Britain, such as Royalty, Chivalry, and Slavery, are built upon a respect for both the traditions of hierarchy and of the natural order of things.
		What my colonial counterpart has insinuated so coarsely is that the canon of Art Brut can be interpreted in such a base manner so as to imply that its purpose is merely that of titillation or amusement.

		Art Brut was formed in 2003 after singer Eddie Argos left his previous band, The Art Goblins ("Their stage show would see him 'playing a vacuum cleaner' and escaping from a sack," notes the band's official biography), and moved to London.
		He met the band's original guitarist, Chris Chinchilla, at a party, and the nucleus of Art Brut was formed, as the band's first single for the Rough Trade label, "Formed a Band," relates in minimalist fashion.
		Chinchilla departed the band last August and was replaced by Jasper Future, one of Argos' former mates in The Art Goblins.

		While the band themselves surprise in the ‘band that can’t play turn out to be pretty good’ stakes, the centrepiece is undeniably Argos.
		They’ve learnt the chords, formed the band and gone on to create one of the most excitingly vibrant records of the year.

		Many bands have promised to bring intelligence back into rock’n’roll, but few offer it quite so readily as on the debut album by Art Brut – even if it’s a little too frequently brains of the somewhat smart-arsed variety.
		This is down to Art Brut band-leader Eddie Argos, a loud-mouthed student type in vintage blazer, whose half-sung, half-bellowed vocal – rambling, witticism-strewn missives about beautiful girls, modern art, and Top Of The Pops – surfs unsteadily atop a musical backdrop of cranked-up garage-rock clatter, distorted rockabilly, and good honest first-wave punk-rock.
		The band sound like they enjoyed every second of writing, rehearsing and recording this album and it is rare to find an act that can so skillfully merge humour, melody and power with such effortless aplomb.

	Rock-am-Ring 2006: Spielplan & Bands: Band Profile
		The year 2004 was when the band first started to tour and perform in a variety of unlikely — indeed eccentric and very British— venues; for example, they performed at London's Tate Gallery, a venue already well-known to Eddie Argos — who did not name the band Art Brut by accident.
		Time and time again, the band's gigs have confirmed that Art Brut is truly original (it gave a notable appearance at the Route du Rock festival in France as well as numerous hard-to-forget gigs in Germany).
		With the release of its first album BANG BANG ROCK and ROLL in the UK in late 2005, the critics were unanimous: Art Brut is the group that nostalgics for leftfield punk, fans of abrasive Brit pop, or simply anybody who loves (often droll) slice-of-life songs have been waiting for.

	Seattlest: Thank God for Art Brut
		Back in 2003, when Art Brut formed, the British music scene was dominated by power pop outfits like The Libertines, who were better as celebrities than musicians.
		Whereas bands like Bloc Party and the aforementioned Arctic Monkeys are slick pop bands with little punk-rock edge, Art Brut's sound recalls nothing if not the dirty, jangly guitar sound of early Pavement, or Pavement's main influence, the British post-hardcore outfit The Fall.
		Art Brut is one of the most original, if not popular, bands to emerge from the UK in years, turning their back on a decade of Britpop that fetishizes the heydey of British music in the 1960s.

	Art Brut - Bang Bang Rock & Roll Review
		Lead singer Eddie Argos declares “I’ve seen her naked twice!” with a rock and roll awareness and tone that I perceived, on the strength of one hit single, as having the potential to shift from incredulity to sex-tape misogyny.
		There are no influences here, except to say that Art Brut has been influenced by every rock band to come before, and every rock band to follow will be recycling the same conventions – most likely without the all-encompassing self-awareness.
		On the opening track Art Brut promised they would make everything okay, and “Maternity Ward” closes the album with Argos’ confirmation: “Everything’s gonna be alright/I promise.” Promise they did – and now I believe.

		Art Brut are the best band to come out of NME's so called 'London's Burning' scene.
		NME is ironicaly the institution they mock in the lyrics to the B-Side 'Bad Weekend' and yet is one of the few of the supporters of the band.
		Like a manic pop art punk cross between the Pixies and MeanwhileBack In Communist Russia, the fast guitars and the ironic yet at tenderand funny lyrics see this song through its relatively short running time.The new wave is here.
