The Shitty Limits

"HOLY SHIT! THERE'S LIMITS EVERYWHERE!" begins one of the most frenetic songs that this guy's heard from some of the greatest dudes just over the pond.
Combining elements of 80's DIY hardcore (The Descendents are a common comparison) with a contemporary garage sound, The Shitty Limits make some of the greatest music I have ever heard.
Seriously, I can't stop listening to these guys. I am THE top listener of theirs on Last.fm. That's how bad my obsession is.
If you gave me an ultimatum, that I either had to give up The Shitty Limits or sex for the rest of my life, well, let me just tell you that that would be one of the easiest decisions I would ever have to make.
Judging by my enthusiasm, I'm sure you guys can guess what my answer would be.
Enough about me, though.
One of the things I admire most about them besides their music is that they make all of their releases available for free download on their blog, and I dare you all to find three things better than free downloads. If you can, feel free to leave them as a comment and I will do my damndest to show you how these guys will trump them.
The guitars are clean, the drums are nimble and focused although the voice is just a bit distorted in the vain of garage punk, making for a trifecta of aural pleasure.
If you have listened to the bands Career Suicide, The Libyans or Cloak/Dagger, you'd have just a faint idea of how these guys sound.
Imagine the Arctic Monkeys and the Hives having a bastard child whose always jacked up on the most potent and finest cocaine, and I mean that in the best way possible.
If you have any sense at all, you will do yourself a favor and give The Shitty Limits a fair listen.
If you have half a mind, these guys will be one of your favorite bands.
If you had the faintest clue, you would have stopped reading this a while ago and started downloading their shit already.
Go on. Your ears will thank you.
