100 gecs is one of the only bands to excite me in quite some time. Is anyone else digging it?

Love 'em. The new track is great:
Yeah, they're fucking great. @Tom , the new track sounds a LITTLE bit less bat shit crazy than usual and a TINY bit more like pop punk, but hey...i can't blame them if they wanna get on the radio.
That being said, it's still PRETTY fucking crazy. :P
But yeah, so there are a whole THREE of us who dig 100 gecs.
I often really don't understand this board when it comes to new music.
Loved the Song Exploder episode that they did on money machine (https://songexploder.net/100-gecs).
The track that never really leaves my brain is stupid horse, actually.
Though I think they're great, I completely understand how someone could fail to get it, particularly if they're coming from a rock / guitar band background. But yeah, Nickleback they ain't!
I am only into a few "newish" bands to be honest. Off the top of my head, HEALTH, Drab majesty, King gizzard and the lizard wizard, Beach house.....
p.s I've been here for a while, locked out of old account. We have PM'd in the past. No hate dude, just not even close to for me. But i am open to finding new bands, why i checked on this thread in the first place and responded to why you werent getting traction with your recommendations. Could have said it in a better way.
@orson thrust I was kind of being an asshole; i'm sorry. I've been going through some shit.
"this belongs in the nickleback thread" is certainly fair play if you don't like it. My bad.
the faceplam, though? the faceplam stands! :P

As a St. Louisian, 100 gecs is our city’s greatest export. I can’t wait for the new record.
i ... don't get it. and i wish i did. i was managing a hot topic around 2008 to 2010 or so, and there was a lot of shit like this selling at the time. someone help me out -- is this ironic?
edit: aaaaand before i knew it, that dumb "doritos and fritos" song got stuck in my head and i kind of love it.

I'm definitely no hyper pop aficionado, but I really liked the stuff 100 Gecs did with Health. And then there's this track by Laura Les that I'm addicted to. Even if I don't love the overall sound of most of this stuff I do have to admit I love the spirit and intention behind it. It feels like music made by kids who give not one fuck about what people think. Back in the day that was called punk.
I'm shocked there's been like no news on the new album yet.
Gecs a fuckin' banger
