Music, Offbeat: Where are they now?: God-awful emo band Attack Attack!

  • Yeah, we know they only came out last year, but that’s a lifetime in the blog world. Remember about a year ago, when we first heard about the crapsterpiece that is Attack Attack!’s “Stick Stickly“? Jesus, it was awful. What’s up their sleeve now? “Sexual Man Chocolate,” which is, we #(!& you not, the name of the first single off of their self-titled second album, out in a little over a week. And yeah, it’s just as bad as “Stick Stickly.” No official video yet, though. We’re guessing they don’t want to screw it up again. Still, though, you have to, uh, respect their stance on their infamy: “Amidst the sensationalist reviews, mainstream news coverage, and viral video crazes, Attack Attack! would like to make one thing clear above all else; they’re definitely having more fun than you are right now.” Keep telling yourself that, guys. source

Music: Attack Attack!’s “Stick Stickly” video so bad, the Guardian dissected it

  • We were totally ahead of the game here. Back in mid-June, we saw the worst music video ever, an unspeakably bad concoction of gyration, cliché, screaming and in-unison headbanging called “Stick Stickly” by screamo band Attack Attack! It was so bad we posted about it twice. Well, we caught the trend just before that bastion of high culture, The Guardian, got a hold of it. And they dissected it in profound detail. Our favorite description of the band: “Like a set of dancers representing Undead versions of Jonas brothers on a Halloween-Pride parade.” source

Music: Know that awful Attack Attack! video we posted? There’s more.

  • The original You probably watched “Stick Stickly” last night and, like us, wondered to yourself how low the bassist could gyrate himself while still being able to play. It was godawful.

Music, Offbeat: Suck suckly: This may perhaps be the worst music video ever

  • There are a painful number of cliches in this music video, from the gyrating to the screaming to the unnecessary Eurodance breakdown. Attack! Attack! should be very ashamed of how awful “Stick Stickly” is. It’s like the screamo version of “Gymkata.”
