Watch & Listen To This: Passion Is Our Fashion!!!

Filed under: Listen To This > Alphabeat

You can't help but love Alphabeat!

Their indie-slanted pop music is just so damn infectious, and this band from Denmark is taking the U.K. by storm.

Fascination is the song climbing its way up the charts and it is like a yummy ice creamsicle!

The male and female co-vocalists and Alphabeat's sound evoke a modern-day B-52s.

And the video is super fun too!

PALEEZE. They sound like a scientology group. You need to listen to the b52's again sweetie. NOTHING LIKE THEM.
So did their record company give you a kick back?

Dude, are you being payed by some danish record company to mention all these terrible bands??? We have so much other great stuff here, this is terrible. High Scholl Musical version 1.1, ay?

I had to flush my ears w/bleach. Perez you have horrible taste in music. Hire me as your music journalist!

this band is awesome.. not so much this song that perez posted, but they have another fun song you all should definitely check out called, "10,000 Nights of Thunder" I know i know it sounds gross, but it's actually pretty upbeat. If that's too cheesy for you, "What Is Happening?" is also worth listening to.

and to Sfgirl… let it go hun, the only people making this a black/white issue are people who complain about it being a black/white issue in the first place.. and this isn't even a political post, it's a post about a new up and coming band… but whatever… to make perez hilton neutral in politics is to take away his own voice. i mean if you want to talk about distorted political news coverage, tune into Fox News. and it's not like perez hates or talks crap about obama or takes down pro-obama comments, he just prefers clinton to be president is all. i mean there are things that I wished perez would talk more about people like lee pace and less about chace crawford, or more about fashion, but again this is his blog, and i'm too lazy to start my own so i can't expect him to write more things of interest to me just for my own satisfaction. so just relax, if you are so passionate about wanting political neutrality, then you start your own blog and post whatever you want on there and no one can tell you what you should and should not write about. and anyway, it's pretty lame if you think this election is all black/white, i think the huge support for both candidates all across america have proven that people see past all the black/white crap. and if you want perez to be neutral, then you should write to will.i.am and all the many celebrities attached to his "We Can" video to create a video for clinton as well! so there's my two cents…

ummm…..do you even know what indie is? you have awful taste in music. Most of what you claim as indie is more mainstream pop. dumb bum.

I WANT TO SEE THEM LIVE, DAMMIT!

I forgot to add they ripped off the Pointer sisters too. It starts off as Footloose, and then morphs into I'm So Excited at the end. Totally unoriginal.
Just me says – reply to this

125

HAHAHA.. They're from my country.
Awesome.
shut up says – reply to this

126

ughhh perez, for christ's sake

everybody listen up:

indie is NOT a MUSICAL STYLE. it just means independent. no major label. that's all!

….and if it was it definitely wouldn't be this shit.

Um, I LOVE the 80s and this video was going there… but fell short. It was lacking something crucial and I could not really get into the grove of it all.

Jocke says – reply to this

Charming, but it feels like teenage pop. Listen to swedish singer Lykke Li, for som real music (sorry Denmark). Her video (on youtube) "A little bit" is amazing!

Sounds like Richard Marx's "Should known better"

It sucks Perez….sucks hard dude. Usually you're on it with the new music, but I'd file this under "Garbled Garage Band clips"
Vickelle says – reply to this

157

Perez, I'd HARDLY call this a comparison to the B-52's! You're young, you're pre-B-52's, so I'll forgive you, but PLEASE! B-52's were genious, these guys are just pop-culture mimics.

Sparkle it up, gurl!! Let us see that seXXy shine!!

Still thrilled from Beyonce's intimate behind-the-scenes video, we're ready to DANCE after watching this Single Ladies performance!!

The crowd was WILD for Bey when she made her first stage debut since giving birth to beautiful Blue Ivy. And from the looks of this performance, she gave 'em their money's worth and then some!

But don't even get us started on Halo (below)! She even tributes Whitney Houston with
