This is just another blog posting about just another British "electro" "indie" band with a fanbase whose median age is 16. What makes this band different? Does It Offend You, Yeah? happen to be touring in my area in support of their new album and latest single "Dawn of the Dead." They also made a Japanese band logo, which is pretty impressive. Everyone knows there's loads of untapped market potential in Japan.Okay, but seriously, is this band made to last or is it as gimmicky as Flipchart Hiatus? Despite the most gimmicky name in the blogosphere, I think Does It (or DIOYY for the hardcore bloggers) is much more versatile than other bands of the British electro/indie/NME Cool List persuasion. They do hard synthy instrumental pieces, addictive pop, and whiny vocals reminiscent of that genre lightly referred to as "pop punk." Though some of their material is icky, I appreciate the variety. Besides, we all love a band that is able to make remixes and get remixed.
So do they offend you, yeah? What a stupid question.

if you had ever gone to see Does it offend you in concert you would know that their median age of fans is definitely not 16. Not even close to that actually.
omg I fucking love them!
I saw these guys live at Amoeba and then again at the El Rey. Personally I didnt like there music that much either time, but I knew they were going to get big, sure enough two weeks later Coverse lets out the ad with the basist of DIOYY. And people all over the city of Los Angeles are taking about how cool these guys are. Even though I didnt like their music that much either time, I bought the CD and got it signed, out of all that I like this Culture Prophet remix the most.
