Nice! I saw them opening for Man Man once and it was great stuff. There's nothing like stage banter from 12 year olds. It was so refreshingly sincere that it was impossible not to have enjoyed it.

These 2 are great, very sincere & their songs are fab!

this sucks, i can't wait until they get booed. when that happens you know they will turn to drugs. what is their contract like, five blowpops for each itunes song downloaded? smile in the picture kid, you're not black, you're 12 and got a record deal. i guess they don't smile because the streets in brooklyn make them sad.

"smile in the picture kid, you're not black"
What the f*ck is that supposed to mean?!?

This is lame. There are so many great young performers in brooklyn, and these guys are so incredibly bland.

fuck you guys!
they're fuckin awesome.
get a life.

I wasn't a huge fan of the video, and I'm not a huge fan of all the hype(it's like the way Tarantino promotes his movies out the ass), but these kids are good/cool, and I don't see why they shouldn't be signed. The fact is those other "harder working bands" aren't signed, and these kids are. They are making it happen, and they did it on their own, and even if they weren't signed and didn't meet anyone, they'd still be making music, and I assure you they'd still be getting shows. It's obvious you're really jealous and wish you were half as cool at age 12. Go create something and stop the critique of others works. They are succesfully doing more than you ever will.

Face it. There's a lot of sad pissed off black kids in Brooklyn. I'm one of them. However it was completely wrong to say that. These kids are pretty cool, they're some middle schoolers I don't automatically wanna hate. That's an amazing feat. The girl doesn't dress like a slut and wear lots of makeup and the boy doesn't look like a complete idiot... How refreshing.

Love you guys! Keep pumping out the tunes.
Posted by Rachel | July 28, 2007 11:51 PM
To any of you haters of tiny masters,
you are just jealous because non of you could have produced anything this good at there age.
GET A LIFE, and stop tryna bitch about kids to make yourselves feel better.

Anonymous posters usually have anonymous sex with other anonymous posters and usually get terrible DSTs and kinda die suffering in pain.

haha is this a joke? its horrible.

Can we pleeeeeeeeease try and forget what age they are! Stop trying to make it into a gimmick and accept the fact that they write great, short, snappy, classic punk tunes...their age simply makes the feat more amazing. When I first heard them (thankyou Huw Stephens), I had no idea that they were so young yet they stil blew me away. I think some people are just jealous that they weren't that cool at 12, I know I wasn't.

Riot? How DOES a 12 year-old young adult learn to use the word riot? She's never been in a riot.

Amen Carmen.

"12-year-old young adult" is an oxymoron.
I don't care at all for this song.
Posted by Anonymous | August 1, 2007 10:43 PM
These guys are not "awesome" as it's been said here. THEY ARE A GIMMICK, so there's no making them into one when they are one (I'm talking to you Will) to begin with, the song isn't good enough to hold up on that alone, and we all know it.
I'm not jealous of them either.
This is a simple example of over saturation in the dire straits of the music industry right now. Joe Strummer turns over yet again.
The song is pretty bad when it's all said and done, and that has NOTHING to do with how old they might be.
Posted by cary | August 2, 2007 1:12 PM
How do you know what Joe Strummer would think? It seems equally logical that he would like it. After all, he had little kids sing "Career Opportunities" on Sandinista. It is 100% certain that he wouldn't pick on some little kids in blog comments, he was too busy making rock and roll which is what kids are supposed to do
Posted by the amazing kreskin | August 2, 2007 2:02 PM
so they're young - that doesn't hide the fact that they're one of the most derivative, uninspired, terrible acts around.
but apparently it doesn't matter because they're just oh-so-fucking cute with their guitars.
it's kitsche in it's purest form. who wants that nonsense.
Posted by Anonymous | August 2, 2007 2:13 PM
So, nobody is asking the real question. Who is the indie rock stage mom/dad that is pushing them into something like this? I mean, a 12-year-old can't sign a recording contract on their own?
Cute gimmick, but every time there's a pre-teen kid shoved in the spotlight, their life gets seriously screwed up.
Ugh.

that portion of that last song was better than the other two combined.
