We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives

That is the name of the debut single from Los Campesinos!, and lucky for us, it’s free. The Cardiff, UK based band has put the song up for download from their website for rien. Marxists? I think not, but damn fine indie pop with the energy of punk rock. The first thing that popped into my head was an indie pop version of Born Ruffians, unless they’re already indie pop, in which case I’m just confused. Genres suck. But one thing I’m not confused about is how snappy these songs are. You can also download some additional songs on their Myspace page. Click on the links below to get your slice:

They have a funny (cute, if you will) video for the lead song based on the same artwork as the release cover. Their site claims the song is not a protest against violence, but the video doesn’t make much of an argument. Enjoi!
