love everything about this...the beat, the voice, the accent! Come to Denmark! Roll up your sleeves for winter And I can wait till summer When you're warmer!
whoa starting of song sounds just like the song what you know by two door cinema club. wonder if two door cinema club got the melody from them...its sooo similar.. great band man.. HALLPASS movie introduced me and so far I think im in love ..lol
@peroznio yeah I see what you mean, but the accent does make it distinct and very different. I've noticed that a lot of singers have similarities with the killers singer. including bono.
@FangsFirst yeah but for me when we talk about bands such as this amazing band and certain sport topics like tennis with andy murray for me i like to think of them as scottish as they represent scotland and if they have a strong accent such as WWPJ :)
@blizzley You know, you're right. I never really payed attention until you pointed it out, but the guitar part in the beginning is very, very similar to Two Door Cinema Club's song. :3
@waaazo1221 Some theories suggest that after the horrors of the civil war, America invested its values in industrialization and factorization. People believed that an economic explosion would help us forget the atrocities of the war and the tension that lingered. As a result, American society slowly began to value productivity more than quality. I believe this is directly related to the American fashion of music you mention.
@waaazo1221 We Were Promised Jetpacks are going on tour with "Bear hands" and "Royal Bangs" two fantastic American bands. There's good music everywhere, and there's bad music everywhere(yes, even in the U.K.) people are just too lazy to find the bands worth listening to.
@CDspartan21 and Scots are British... Admittedly, some might conceivably take offense at being labeled as such (especially considering it is typically used to mean "English" in the States)...still true.
@23ux part of the uk yeah. but scotts can get quite offended when you call them british. they prefer to be called scottish haha. Thats the case with the irish as well. its like calling a canadian an american i guess.
2:55.... Steak ham, steak ham, steak ham, steak ham, steak haaam, steak ham, steak ham... steak haaaaaaaaaaaaam.... steak haaaaaaam.... You're welcome!
I dunno why you would. The name was "We Were Promised Jetpacks". That implies they never got them. Else it'd be, "Hey, Look At Our Jetpacks". New band name I call it.
@neilb229 huh im not invading anything. I was just telling the guy that scottish people dont like being called british. like canadian people dont like to be called american. No need to get all touchy about it.
All we do is fuck fight and break up Then two weeks later we’ve made up You’ll tell me you love me Late at night Hoping by the morning It’ll be alright That I’ll have forgotten What you said
I've been listening them since I was 20... Ten years later I still love their music! Greetings from Ecuador!
If you like these guys you'll love
- Two Door Cinema Club
- Bombay Bicycle Club
- Foals( My personal favorite out of this bunch)
How'd you know my playlist?
alt-j, arcade fire, mando diao
that transition at 2:37 gives me chills everytime
Tapping my foot, and procrastinating at work. Thanks a lot guys!! Keep up the great tunes!

+andrew turvill with that accent, it makes it sound like he's saying "steak ham"
+Aj Dominguez now i cant stop haring that lol

Four years later and I'm still in love with these guys.
Quiet little voices! 😉

que buena banda, me encanto el disco !
This Band Must be famous... more famous, I love them
[i agree with the dude below!!!] THIS BAND IS BRILLIANT & has that ORIGINAL APPEAL!!! THEY ARE UNDERATED, SO IS THEIR LATEST ALBUM, ITS A BEAUTY!!!
Just watched these guys play live at Coachella..... They killed It! What a show! The lead and exit to this song was amazing.
Love WWPJ. For other similar Scottish bands try Flood of Red, Fatherson and Light Guides.
Thank you for the suggestions, I appreciate them greatly!
Another good one is The Defended, which stopped producing around 2010 but have gotten back into it
A really good band!!! Hope they are coming to Spain one of these days.
The instrumentals in this are insane, and his accent just adds to the sort of... (excuse the lameness) magical effect.
they are a lovely little band x
love everything about this...the beat, the voice, the accent! Come to Denmark!
Roll up your sleeves for winter
And I can wait till summer
When you're warmer!

Thanks mate. I'm glad you're here to explain that to me.

So good! Can't wait for the album. Keep it up WWPJ
I heard this song live at the Rock & Roll hotel, its one of there new ones. I love these guys.

Totally legit national pride here, and all happy and positive. I'm certainly not going to argue with you on this :)

They are from Estonia

Hamza Badshah lol they are Scottish
3:00 steak arm?
@ahendricks0703 very plausible, thanks for that insight
@ImaCat9000 dont worry im working on that with my band! :)
i didnt like this guys voice at first but now its grown on me
@Anthonythebest1 its not only fergie and jesus here, but you all are completely correct about music here.
such a beefy tune!
I quite like it actually
i heard this song on FuelTV and i loved it.. all 5 seconds xD nah but this band is really good
FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM
@blacktheory I definately agree
@CDspartan21 i know, i meant anywhere on the british isles and scotlands on the brittish isles
@CDspartan21 and Scots are British... Admittedly, some might conceivably take offense at being labeled as such (especially considering it is typically used to mean "English" in the States)...still true.
With all the Twilight Sad talk, there should be no surprise that they're opening for the Sad in the US...
@daeeggs why would you roast an egg?
is this in 3d cool band
@ScreamingxCookie scottish mate.
We WERE promised jetpacks. I'm still waiting for mine. And flying cars too.
Sounds just like the "Junior Astronomers" I seen at the Empty bottle in Chicago.
@h3gamer It really is. xD
I love the song... And for the record people in Britain view everyone in the other countries of Britain separate so call them scottish.
Under fucking rated
It sounds like he says Steak Ham when hes saying Stay Calm hahaha
👆 this
last time I checked scotland was part of great britain and located on the british isles. Not like 2do called them english.
@23ux part of the uk yeah. but scotts can get quite offended when you call them british. they prefer to be called scottish haha. Thats the case with the irish as well. its like calling a canadian an american i guess.
You're right nationalities shouldn't matter, we need to look at it as if we are ALL one big nation. It's the only way forward.
@honcho247 our passports say Scottish? Mine says British Citizen :/
Tumblr zamanlari dinlerdim zaman cok cabuk geciyor
headed toward cold play territory here...
where are they from?
They're all from Edinburgh :-)
UK with Scottish roots.
im not even kidding!
@Biggestmutemathfan
If you worship these guys (like i do) you`ll love
- The Wedding Present
- The Twilight Sad
- Editors
- Frightened Rabbit
i got here cuz of brandito and his doomfist tutorials lol
TrapColor same
same
reminds me of a mix between Sparta and Cursive
2:55.... Steak ham, steak ham, steak ham, steak ham, steak haaam, steak ham, steak ham... steak haaaaaaaaaaaaam.... steak haaaaaaam.... You're welcome!
Why
This is brilliant.
Derek Hamilton That doesn't make sense
I kind of agree, but the voice of lead singer of killers is a lot more flimsy if you know what i mean?..
@Biggestmutemathfan TRUE THAT.
i have got to say, when i clicked on this video i was disappointed. i was expecting jet packs :/
Bra-vo...
oh yeah? well how do ya think these guys feel? they were promised 'em!
I dunno why you would. The name was "We Were Promised Jetpacks". That implies they never got them. Else it'd be, "Hey, Look At Our Jetpacks".
New band name I call it.
Come to Ukraine pls! I love your songs so much :3
I hear a lot of joy division in their riffs
If you made the Twilight Sad pop they'd be this.
@neilb229 huh im not invading anything. I was just telling the guy that scottish people dont like being called british. like canadian people dont like to be called american. No need to get all touchy about it.
All we do is fuck fight
and break up
Then two weeks later
we’ve made up
You’ll tell me you love me
Late at night
Hoping by the morning
It’ll be alright
That I’ll have forgotten
What you said
Beef to the max
the video reminds me of the "Saved by the Bell" intro lol
