Today my little 14 year old sister brought home a CD. She let me put it on my laptop, it was the debut album from "Does It Offend You, Yeah?" called "You Don't Know What You're Getting Yourself Into," Normally i would decline but for this band it wasn't the case. This is because i actually don't mind these guys, i saw them by accident with a friend at Manchester Academy last October, and was blown away but kind of lost touch with them.

That night we had drank a bottle of vodka and were walking down Oxford Road when a tout came up to us and asked need any tickets. Now we didn't have any other plans, so thought why the hell not and asked what the cheapest was. It was this very band, and even more convinced by their crazy (at the time) name we went for it. Academy 3 is not big, its about the size of my bedroom twice, but it was still half empty. An awful band by the name of We Smoke Fags supported, aswell as a not so bad Autokratz then DIOYY? came on. Us and the many 13 year olds we had been talking to all went crazy for DIOYY as they came on played their 5 song 20 minute set and then went. We were left in awe, yes that was the shortest set I'd ever seen, the support seemed to be on longer, but it was unbelievable, going mental for the whole thing, the band all jumping into the crowd and us all catching them.. great fun! I also got loads of stickers handed out and put them on various shop windows on the way back.
We went to the "afterparty" at the next door bar, Big Hands but my friend was too drunk and wanted to go home so i only got to talk to Autokratz and then we went. It was a fantastic night..

Anyway, this album isn't half bad, they're kind of electro, kiddy pop but I like them and always will because of that great night last winter. Even if my sister likes them! Epic Last Song is pretty mainstream and well worth a listen.

They also did really well at Glastonbury last weekend and played one of the sets of the weekend in the dance village, everyone went mental and got on stage. Or so I'm told.
