Eddie Argos doesn't feel great on this new Art Brut single. Probably the entire Frank Black-produced album, really; it's called Art Brut Vs. Satan, and in this case the devil's in the details of his issues with drinking, group texts,... CONTINUE READING NEW ART BRUT VIDEO - "ALCOHOLICS UNANIMOUS"»

New Art Brut - "Alcoholics Unanimous"

The first track on Art Brut's forthcoming "punk-as-fuck," Black Francis-produced Art Brut Vs. Satan is "Alcoholics Unanimous."

Art Brut Review Photo Equipment

Finally, you get to know these guys' opinions on cameras! In review of the Casio Exilim EX-V8, Eddie Argos says: "We didnt use the YouTube feaure. The dumb things we do always end up there.
