I always thought that because they had such a cool name, their music couldn't live up to it, So although I've heard the band name for years, I didn't check it out until recently, And it might have even been this post that I saved so long ago that I first heard it.

Long story short, their music is at least as good as their name, which is compelling and exciting.

Thanks for sharing

The band name is nonsensical, it just sounds strange enough to be cool.

The first two GY!BE albums are timeless IMO.
