They are noisy as hell, but you got to admit the drummer is fast - and damn good. As a whole they put on a very entertaining show.

Sadly, I missed seeing them when I was down at school about a year ago. I think I had a test. I'm so un-punk.

Damn, those boys are fast.

I saw them at a show in Philadelphia last summer. They were... eh.... noisily amusing? Beyond that, I couldn't see (or hear) the appeal, though it made for a good laugh.

Oh yeah I always get a good laugh from them. I love how they switch screaming, and their costumes, :lol , their stage presence is very amusing. I also really like watching Dillinger Escape Plan play, they also have nice stage presence. Very fun live shows to watch. What other bands are like this? I was recently recommended Converge and they were pretty much more of the same (not a bad thing) but they didn't seem to play as tight as DEP did. I also hear the Blood Brothers are really good. Gotta love my Melt Banana too.

I saw them last year. They were pretty great although the set was fairly short. I was hoping to see them again during the tour for the current album but no longer living in a college town makes that a little more difficult.

I'm going to bump this since I think most people would find this interesting even if they don't like the band.

[Jim Bowie]

Oh! God! I thought The Locust had a drum machine! Fucking incredible!

Define "musicality"...

melodious.. its too hectic for my tastes.

 

[BuddyC]

Yea, I saw them live last year with Dillenger and My Enemy's Friend. Awesome, awesome show.

I wear my Locust shirt with pride.

Whoa, Melt Banana too? tt_deeb is way cool.

 

[Ristamar]

...its too hectic for my tastes.

Yeah, my original thoughts were along the lines of "they play hard and fast, too bad they sound like shit," but that's just my own subjective musical taste.

 

[Minotauro]

Ah, understood.

"Charlie" is one of the greatest albums ever.

Okay, maybe not ever but it's really, really good.
