The Fighting Cocks have been tearing music apart for several years now, since the implosion of previous band Széki Kurva, the band that MJ Hibbett wrote his song 'Bands From London Are Shit' about. But stick with me for a moment, they aren't shit. In fact, the band's own cover of that song is very good. Their mix of punk, electro and just about every other genre they can find to sample is utterly unique and completely brilliant. There are no bands like The Fighting Cocks, partly because no one else has the balls to be like them and partly because no one else would be able to pull it off. Don't believe me? Just head over their MySpace page and download 'Love Somebody, Yes I Do' and then tell me they aren't geniuses. It's a song so perfectly pop that they had to insert swearing in the middle to stop it from getting radio play.
