The Future Of Music

We can't say enough good things about Operator Please! These teenagers from Australia are just what music needs right now.

Fuck the Jonas Brothers. It's all about Operator Please!

Their music is urgent, raw, simple, pure, current yet nostalgic and all-around awesome.

CLICK HERE to check out the video for their new single Get What You Want.

They are kids but they're already pushing the envelope.

The clip is so rad.

Operator Please rules!!!

      It is only annoying..bad song,
      bad graphics.
      Not great.
      DO you get paid to post this?
      You're wrong about this one.

      Future of music? It's such an 80's rip-off of Berlin, The Motels…

      If this is the future of music I hope I go deaf…

      Perez,

      You know nothing about music if you think this is the future of music.

      It's p-p-p-ooop. Instead, visit Katrineholm Review-type it in Google-and come to Sweden for some really rad music.

      This song sucks huge lemons!!! perez sorry you're betting on another losing horse.

      21

      Operator Please are a VERY talented group of teenagers. I have seen them live twice (supporting Kaiser Chiefs & Arctic Monkeys) and they astounded me both times, I can't give them enough cred if I tried - AUSSIE IS PROUD OF YOU!! :)

    22. jo says – reply to this


      22

      no perez no. operator please sucks. and isn't their keyboardist ON DRUGS

    23. Saida says – reply to this


      23

      Operator Please is a great band. They may not be everyone's taste but they are killing it in Australia and just finished a tour in Europe. Can't wait for them to come to the States. Go, OP!

      This is bad shit!!!!!

    25. Pappy Simon says – reply to this


      25

      You can't be serious. This sound has already been done and re-done. Listen to the Pretenders, B-52's, early Berlin. It was all done in the late 70's/early 80's.

      You youngsters don't know a thing about original music because all the stuff you hear today is sampled or has been done before.

    26. CHARLOTTE says – reply to this


      26

      Its not too bad. It doesn't make me want to throw my computer out the window…I wont running out and buying the album or anything but more tolerable than most sht out there.

    27. HisMattjesty says – reply to this


      27

      I am not impressed at all by them. Sound like a typical teen garage band, and the production is of the same quality. Though I do not like them either, The Jonas Brothers have one thing going for them………A Huge Disney Contract.

      Yes kids, the thing to aspire for these days is a Disney contract. Forget toys and a normal childhood, make your money and retire before you are even legal age!

    28. huh..really... says – reply to this


      28

      does anyone think this sounds like a little bit of a billy talent(canadian) rip off? jus wonderin…

      wow.

      these teens are WHACK & sound like every other British invasion band out there.

      WHOA?! … Sounds like Ashley Simpson :-) Me likie… I love it when kids get together, break the mold and give us something fresh to listen to! Trippy video!

    32. dede says – reply to this


      32

      at least the Jonas Brothers do not have to use swear words to get people to like their music…….

    33. calgal_27 says – reply to this


      33

      All things considered (their age and musical influences), this is not too bad. It doesn't sounds all THAT fresh and new, though. I am hearing Berlin, Romeo Void, and the general early 80's stuff going on here. Still, they should keep it up. They will find their groove. ;)

    34. kiki says – reply to this


      34

      most of the music coming out of aussieland is pretty awesome at the moment…that song by operator please is actually getting oldish here…i hate to advertise, but if you want mostly local and amazingly original and freakishly good tunes, hit www.triplej.com.au and listen to their live radio or their many podcasts… want a CD of local talent perez? i can send one over :p

      I really enjoy listening to Operator Please's music. It's good to see these kids stay pretty humble with their music.

      This video reminds me of the opening credits to "You Can't Do That On Television."

      Of course, these little punks weren't even born when that show was on the air.

      If this is the future of music, I will pass. Another crapastic Perez Hilton offering. Perez whatever you are smoking get off it. It is effecting your hearing and your sense of taste.

      Liking obscure crap doesn't make you smarter.

      once again, another rip off of 'neworder', 'gang of four', 'buzzcocks', 'joydivision'..

      86

      It's funny how this is the future of music and they blatantly copied a guitar line from the Arctic Monkeys, whom they have been on tour with. 10 seconds into the song, it's the same guitar as in the song A Certain Romance by the Arctic Monkeys at 3:10 in. Have a listen. It's stunning. Oh yeah 89thish!

    87. They're decent - Gen Y is WEAK says – reply to this


      87

      It's good. But, yeah, it totally rehashes stuff that's been out there for 20 years.

      Because face it generation Y, you suck sweaty hairy balls. Boy banders, lipsynchers and weak actors have turned your generationboring. There's so little coming out of your decade, that for movies you remake our old shows. You copy our layered shirts, small polos, tight jeans, etc., and remake our songs (badly).

      Hip hop/rap first got radio play when? Your shit excuse for pop is based on the new wave sound. Emo is goth with lower social standing. What the hell are you contributing? Lip synching beauty contestant types are not creative musicians.
      I guess video did really kill the radio star.

      Get your ass out of Hollister/Abercrombie and all of those other clone factories, and find some originality and creativity. Your generation is so starved for it that they don't realize they've been eating crap.

      Jonas Brothers are still better. Sorry!
      They're ok but…not the best.

      I bet THEY cant get 30,000 people to go to a concert like the JoBros can.

    92. rach says – reply to this


      92

      YAY! I Heart Operator Please! Check out the previous two singles as well! This group of teenagers are more talented the 80% of the shit out there now- at least they aren't talking about how they "capped their ho and smoked up"!

      All you guys that are saying they're shit- I'd like to see you do better, seriously! I know that they aren't everyones taste- but everything old is new again and you have to take them for what they are- fun!
