thespeedbumpz

1. Speed bump/ speedbump-. - a hindrance to speeding created by a crosswise ridge in the surface of a roadway - any obstruction that impedes or is burdensome
2. TheSpeedBumpz / TheSpeedBumps-. TheSpeedBumpz are a powerpop alternative/indie quartet residing in Athens, Greece. Formed in 2002, the band consists of Y@nN1z (Guitars), D3nNis_K (Guitars), F0t1S (Drums) and Dimitris Fassoulopoulos (Vocal/Bass). The group presents original tunes influenced by pretty much anything. Jangly Guitars, melodic pop hooks, resonant vocals are interleaved in a mosaic that reaches its best expression when played live on stage.Five years into their existence, TheSpeedBumps are still somewhat of an obscurity in the city of Athens - Greece, which is unfortunate in light of the act's startlingly sophisticated musicianship and its penchant for creating smartly crafted pop songs that don't fit neatly into any specific subgenre. [...]Currently they are recording & producing a new set of tunes in their Home Studio.

Awesome introGreat psychedelic sounds and the singer fits the song tightly. I want to hear more from this band. THey are really good. I love the far east sounding guitars and that video game bass or programming going on.

Very good tune! Excellent music. I like the funky bass hook right at the beginning followed by a simple but very tasteful guitar hook. Props to all you are a tight unit. I thought the song was heading in the direction of being repetitious but that thought was negated by softening the guitars and bringing the keyboard to the foreground around the 3:40 point in the tune. Overall good job.
