Why they might be annoying:

    They share their name with a Swedish band.
    Rafferty was fired for boorish behavior including missing rehearsals and rumored drug addiction.
    One of the band's songwriting influences is 'Lady in Red' singer Chris De Burgh.
    Their song 'Shine On' was featured in a television commercial for Michelob Light beer.

Why they might not be annoying:

    The band cited Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Police, and David Bowie as musical influences.
    In fact the band got their name from one of Bowie's songs.
    Their songs have a diverse range of music genres such as ska, Britpop, reggae, punk, funk, and hip hop.
    One critic praised the group as 'a more energetic Thrills or a looser Sam Roberts Band, maybe even a less severe Arctic Monkeys at times.'
