Does the Prodigy count. I like them. Pendulum (Perth DnB guys) too. Always like me some old school gangsta shit too, although some of that has guitar samples.
I accidentally liked the Broken Machine single that Zowie did for a little while :oops: ...I don't think it had guitar in it...was more synth pop.

The five-year-old he got to do the album art can't spell.

lol that's HIS artwork.

Agreed, the EP does not have much guitar on it but it IS good. Took me a few listens to get into, it's really good though once you do.

Only one of theirs I have is The Magnificent Tree, and I swear that has guitars on it.

Apologies to regular consumers of Simon Cowell's product; this will be old news.

For anyone else, these two kids, (16 & 17) have produced one of the musical events of the year IMHO.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
