I wrote earlier that I wasn’t going to pay for insertnamesucks.com anymore so I decided to take some posts and move them over to this site. Mainly the ones that get the best comments which I’ll also transfer. I’ll also update the entry as I feel needed.
Here’s wikipedia’s description of Matt and Kim:
Matt & Kim are a dance punk duo residing in Brooklyn, New York City, New York. The group was formed in 2004 and is composed of Matt Johnson (vocals/keyboards) and Kim Schifino (drums/vocals).
I have news for you, they aren’t good. They have some popular songs being “Daylight”, “Good Ol’ Fashion Nightmare”, “Cameras”, and now “Block after Block”. They all sound similar and are all equally bad. There are moments when you think you like the songs but they are quickly eclipsed with the realization that you’ve just fallen into a trance by their plain, redundant music. The songs sound like synthesized bullshit. Understand that these are their most popular songs so I can’t even being to imagine how bad their other “worse” songs are. I give this band no credit at all and instantly turn off their music when it’s played. Sadly, I’m sure there are millions of people out there who like Matt and Kim. I don’t wish anything bad upon them but I just write to say that all their music sounds the same and it’s not a good sound to start with. The video below is sort of interesting but I found myself focused on the crowd of gawkers and didn’t even notice that there was a song playing. I think this should be reason enough to reason that their music isn’t that worth listening to.
I actually saw Matt and Kim last summer in Philly at an outdoor concert. I liked them at first and their songs are catchy, but Kim had a CONSTANT smile plastered on her face which was frightening. They’re ok but I was a bit scared after seeing them perform.
I saw them at Charlotte on Blink 182/MCR Honda Civic tour. They suck sooooo bad. geez, is that the best Brooklyn can do? I went to see Blink 182 and My Chemical Romance and had to endure Matt and Kim as opening “act”. “Songs sounded like a 5 year old Chinese kid wrote them, and their performance sounded like 2 retarded 5 year olds skinning a dozen live cats. I absolutely hated them with a passion.
Please find where they live and make them stop.
thank you tom. i hate matt and ki
They suck balls hard. They can’t even keep time with each other and the girl looks like she has a stinky pussy.
Wow. You guys shouldn’t say a band sucks or not. Not everyone has the same likes in music. They don’t “suck” if there are people that like their music. To each their own.
@CD: So, by applying your logic, are you also saying that bands don’t “rock” if there are people who hate their music? Also, it’s common practice for English speaking people to say that something “sucks” if they don’t like it. Since I don’t plan on changing my vocabulary to appease you, you’ll just have to get over it and stop trolling.
Anyway…my first exposure to Matt and Kim was the video of those two douchetards in bed. The only thing that could make that video entertaining (besides different people, music and voices) is if she wore a strap-on and pegged his bitch ass. And by entertaining, I mean I’d be laughing so hard I wouldn’t hear the song.
And then there’s the Times Square eyerape video above. Seriously, you two…maybe it’s time to give up your “ironic” PBR & tofu diet. You both have the physique of twelve year old boys. And WTF is up with the ending? You managed to be creepy AND rip off Final Destination. If that’s your way of saying you won’t be making any more videos, though, I’m all for it.
So yeah, I agree, Tom. Lame hipster image. Terrible singing. Off-kilter synth & beat maker tracks (srsly, it’s a computer, how can somebody fuck THAT part up?) Generic bubblegum melodies and rhythms. Add it all up, and — Matt & Kim suck.
Worst show I saw at bonnaroo in 2013. Kim was screaming like a banshee trying to get all the females to come to the front and take their tops off. First time I ever got turned off while seeing tits.
