Does It Offend You, Yeah? My Drinking?

I may be a little late to the party but I've just picked up Does It Offend You, Yeah's album "You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into" after hearing their track We Are Rockstars in the new Fast and Furious trailer.

Of the band Wikipedia has this to say, "Does It Offend You, Yeah? have been compared to dance-oriented acts like Daft Punk, Justice and Digitalism. NME also compares them to bands like Muse due to their heavier, more "live" sound. The group is known for their raucous live shows, which often end in stage diving and broken instruments."

Personally I reckon they're like Daft Punk mashed with The Prodigy but whatever they are, they rock!

Some history...

Band Name
“Everybody thinks the name is some kind of statement but it's a quote from David Brent in an episode of The Office. "When me and James Rushent first started writing music together we decided to put it up on MySpace. We needed a name to put as our profile name so just put what was the first thing that was said on TV, we switched it on and Ricky Gervais said "Does it offend you, yeah? My drinking?" so we just went with that. No thought went into it whatsoever.[8]”

Album Name
“The name of the album was decided just as spontaneously as the name of the band - the album's title is a direct quote from Robin Williams' character in the film Jumanji.”
