Thats the 1st record. Personally i thought there was only about 5 good songs on it but they got better. I’m glad they exist though, the World is too full of dreary/angsty bands!
When i first heard Monkey Kong it made me feel 14 again! Ah…those were the days! :)

A are ok. I was a fan during the Hi-Fi Serious-era, but I soon grew tired of them. And the vocals are absolutely awful.

I don’t think the last album sold very well - shame. I know thay were a bit limited in what they could do so they had a good run all things considered. :)

Confession time.
I used to be a HUGE Symposium fan, and went to see them playing in Norwich in 1998 and there were people chanting for A before they even came onstage, they rocked - destroyed symposium - totally blew them out of the water and I’ve been a fan ever since - Seen them on their own a few times and at festivals,
They are taking a sabbatical because basically making music isno longer profitable for them - they’ll be like Terrorvision - do a tour every couple of years when they need a new car or something, and if we’re lucky might get the odd album here and there out of them
sad loss to the music world though because Hi-fi serious is a great album (as is teen dance ordinance actually)

Correct me if I’m wrong, isn’t Dan the bassist a Satanist and does a Radio 1 show?

I remember one of them being a Satanist, yes.
Thus proving false the long-held notion that “the Devil has all the best music”

I think you’re right. It had a time and place, but it just sounds a bit dated now, and Jason Perry’s helium voice grates after a while. Though they still do have some class songs. Jason produced the last McFly album worryingly enough…

“A” has to be the worst band name in the history of internet search engines. Worse, even , than “The The”, which is itself a fucking pain in the arse to find anything on..

No, I hate the band because of their cliched music, dreadful lyrics and punchable singer.
A were to Satanism what Fred West was to Christianity.

I remember seeing them at either Leeds or Download one year and on top of them being shite they had technical problems during the set. The lead singer sauntered into the front row to try and start a little singalong only for the person he shoved the mic at hadnt got a clue of any of the crappy lyrics!! Ha Ha, bet it felt crap having thousands of people laughing at him!! Despite this I own 3 of their albums, i’m such a hypocrite, and yes they all sound rubbish now, it was a phase I had!

i mean look at them. Firstly they’re too stupid to think of a band name beyond “a”. THEN they name songs and albums after shops they’ve been in (“hi-fi serious” and “starbucks”), and then when they can’t think of nothing they literally call the fucking SONG “nothing”!!!!! *bangs head against spiky wall* Jesus fucking christ, these fuckwits are sharing our oxygen, people!
