Amazon.co.uk Review
The debut album from Reading electro-punks Does It Offend You Yeah? slots neatly into the slipstream behind fellow rave/rock fusioneers The Klaxons and Justice, an energetic splicing of bratty vocals, ribcage-quaking synthesisers, choppy rhythms--and occasionally, a few ideas that are all their own. So, while the opening trio of tracks aim mostly to bludgeon in a Justice style--"We Are Rockstars" hitches tapped cowbell and pneumatic beats to keyboard riffs that buzz like angry wasps--a little further in, DIOYY? tone down the technological assault and stretch their songwriting muscles. "Let's Make Out" is snotty in a faintly dislikable way, like the caddish male answer to Reverend And the Makers' "He Said He Loved Me". A couple of tracks prove they've got hearts under all the bravado, though: "Being Bad Feels Pretty Good" and "Dawn of the Dead" are anthemic electro-pop in the vein of mid-period Human League, complete with very '80s live bass and curiously, in the case of the latter, steel drums. --Louis Pattison

Customer Reviews

No Offence
Mr Badger arrived at the cave entrance this afternoon in a state of high agitation. His cousin from Reading had visited earlier in the day bringing with him as a gift a copy of Does It Offend You Yeah's new album
'You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into'.

Having listened to it once (perhaps a little too loudly for a first hearing) he discovered to his dismay that several large cracks had opened up in the ceiling of his usually secure and commodious sett.

Upon his cousin's departure he had come immediately to seek my advice.

The Wolf is pleased to report that no such destructive events have repeated themselves in the cave.

From the skittering opening beats and synthesiser of 'Battle Royale' to the anthemic closure of 'Epic Last Song' the ten numbers contained in this fine album give every reason for these upstanding young gentlemen from Reading to be very proud indeed.

I cannot believe that any offence was intended by the release of these stirring compositions and certainly none has been taken.

Indeed, the presence of a lesbian octopus in track 6 should be held up as a noteworthy example of equal opportunity promotion in the animal kingdom.

Unlike Mr Badger I would reccommend listening to this album at levels exceeding 120 decibels to experience its' full (and I feel sure) intended effect.

A splendid first showing chaps.

Life in the Home Counties is clearly looking up !

I knew what I was getting myself into!
Awesome awesome album.
Having downloaded weird science and we are rockstars some time back, i decided that Leeds Fest was the time to finally see them. They were immense. Not what i was expecting either. I get the feeling most of the people in the tent didnt know what was going on, but most loved it.
I cant get enough of high energy music (sounds naff written here), i always want to hear something that sounds like the band has loved every minute of what they were doing and put everything into it. This has it, all of it, everything!
Let's make out is my stand-out track, but it's all excellent. I quite like hadouken because they are stupid and arent ashamed of making something to fill a hole (music-wise), but they arent a patch on these guys.
As many people have already said 'This is real Nu-rave' or at least what it should be!

good
stupid effin name, they sound like something nathan barley would say and hence would be cool in the capital if we were 3 years prior. In spite of this comes good tunes, highly recommended, and so far not ruined by that little kid down the road who copies what i like. (this may only apply to me).
