Death Cab is a great group too. Really laid back music plus Ben Gibbard is an amazing song writer.

If you like Franz Ferdinand (that dancy type rock music) check out Bloc Party if you haven't already. Banquet, Helicopter and She's Hearing Voices are three songs you should listen to for a good feel of their music. Bloc Party puts on a sick live show as well.

Yeah the Bravery is pretty good not my fav. group but still pretty good.

I have all of Death Cabs albums. The new one is really good but not even near their best IMO.

Here is the order in which I like the Death Cab albums:

We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes (Amazing album..their best IMO)
Something About Airplanes
Transalanticism
Plans
The Photo Album

Their EP's are good but pretty rare (except for the one they just released)

All of their albums are really good though. If you like Death Cab you should check out this other Washington group called Pedro the Lion. Somewhat similar in style. They both have amazing singer/song writers.

Ben Gibbard also is the lead singer of The Postal Service if you want to check them out.

Did you read some where they are gay? Or just going by how they dress and look? You do know they are from Europe right? People dress different out there. Just wondering because I have never heard that before.

I was reading in Rolling Stone how the drummer says he loves the groupie women in the US. So I guess atleast he is straight.

I read it or a few people I know were talkin about it, said they were gay or whatever. Heard it from a couple different people so I thought it was true mayne. Im not just doggin on them cause of how they dress.

It's all good homie. I wasn't trying to say it like you are lying or anything. I just never heard that before.

Either way they make some good music IMO.

I haven't heard much Franz Ferdinand myself, but my girlfriend loves his music. I don't think she's heard of Bloc Party or Death Cab - any chance you could post up some of their tracks or PM them to me? Just a few which best display their style, like Nuttkase suggested - Banquet, Helicopter and She's Hearing Voices, something like that. Thanks in advance fellas.

I'm a huge punk fan. I like all types of rock...alot of different sub genres or whatever you want to call them. I live in downtown Seattle now but I'm from the Lynnwood/Edmonds area...well I'm acctually from NYC but I have lived in Washington since I was little.

Are you from Washington?
