Although their dazzling debut album, Bang Bang Rock & Roll, has been availabe in the UK since October of last year, Art Brut will be releasing their debut in America on May 23rd and will include several tracks from their EPs as bonus tracks. If you're impatient or simply want to listen in on this phenomenal band, iTunes has their album availabe for download and Amazon has the import available on their site.
Art Brut can be described as fun, brilliant, simple, and sometimes even stupid (in a good way) and to me that's a breath of fresh air. Art Brut reminds me of the early Who in the way they don't take themselves seriously at all and just want to have a ton of fun with their music. Seriously, read some of their lyrics...
And many more. Their album is full of quotable, fun lyrics. Art Brut is a brillantly simple, contagiously funny, kick-a$$ rock band that brings with them a breath of fresh air to an age of indie rock that takes itself too seriously.

I want to be the boy
The man
Who writes the song
That makes Israel and Palestine
Get along
-------------------
I can't stand the sound of the Velvet Underground
--------------------
No more songs about sex, drugs and rock and roll
It's boring!
------------------------
Other girls went and other girls came
I can't get over my old flame
I'm still in love with Emily Kane
I don't even know where she lives
I've not seen her in 10 years...
9 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 6 hours, 13 minutes, 5 seconds
------------------------
Haven't read the NME in so long
Don't know what genre we belong
Popular culture no longer applies to me
