Holee shit
holy shit this actually is the worst thing i have ever seen.
not only did this hardcore group lose all their creditability for admitting that they listen to the postal service, they also ruined a great song.
This is sort of great. What's so terrible about it? It's certainly unnecessary, but not nearly as bad as, say, that god-awful Dirty Projectors album that everybody keeps jerking it to.
I like how these emo bands are trying to shed there shitty image by trying to adopt hardcore.
Still comes off like crying teenage girls.
Brokencyde still eats the top poop.
i'm with lenny, except for the fact that i like the DP album. when you see DP live it will all make sense. trust me brah...
no different than all the crappy so called metal core bands out there now
Is that Dave Mustaine's bastard child on vocals? This is not a joke, I want to know.
Hey. there is worse shit out there.
Kinda liked it.
This is awful...except when they all jump in unison. That's extra awful.
The Postal Service just turned over in their grave at that crap.
They're not dead...but they sure as hell are turning over. My GOOOOOODNESS that was awful.
Postal Service is a great band but quit giving them all the credit for a great song. This song is by Iron & Wine
this wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be. i made it thru 2 minutes before i turned it off. i never plan on listening to this again but i'm mad that i heard it.
daily swarm... what other bad stuff you got?
you people are weak. try listening to demos for a living! this is just a little misguided, the song is good and the guys are cute and can play their instruments. what's the problem?
You know, the guitar/drum bit isn't too terrible.
But god, if he'd stop sounding like a dying bullfrog it could be an interesting cover.
Cinderella for the this generation
clearly not the worst. i would hate just about everything this band is on paper including the PS cover. It's lame but they can play a little. This crap is everywhere, the daily swarm must do better with this "worst" business.
@Joe Woods:
Also in 2002, Beam recorded a cover of The Postal Service's then-unreleased song "Such Great Heights". Rather than being included on an Iron & Wine release, the track was initially included as a b-side of the original version by The Postal Service.
bullshit this isnt even on the same plane as brokencyde, its just mediocre screamo covering a cheesy indie song.
stop overinflating the bad music market with your reverse hype YOU ARE WORSE THAN STERN BEARS
Jesus, this band should be aborted.
jesus, that is just awful. awful.
HA HA HA @ROPED
Welcome to what most of suburban middle-American white kids listen to. Also - they are are all evangelical christians.
needs more Auto-Tune.
i think this comes pretty close to being worse...

Websters should be contacting them soon as they have completely redefined the word "contrived".
I wish the choreographed dance moves were campy and not sad and authentic. Wow! I haven't laughed and felt awkward this much at the same time this much since "Meet the Parents!"
How embarrassing.
Do you like music that sucks? Are you a total fucking moron? Have we got some stupid shit for you! YAY!!!
Quick, call a doctor, th man is in a lot of pain.
Thusly proving my point that "indie" bands suck and will always suck, and as far as I'm concerned, MGMT and any of the plethora of similarly shitty bands get my vote for 'Worst Band/Worst Song', of not only '09 but of all time.
"Make the world a better place and punch an "indie" band member in the face...repeatedly"
It actually sounded nice until they opened their mouths.
I love thier synchronized bobs and squats. Makes me laughe very time
is this malibu metal?
all you are retarded iron & wine wrote this song and no one gives him credit for shit cause postal service covered it
