Listen To This: We Can't Stop!
Filed under: Listen To This > Alphabeat
We finally got our hands on the Alphabeat album, which is sadly still not available in America, and it is sooooooo good.
Additively delicious!
We can't stop listening to it!
If you have yet to fall in love with the charm of Alphabeat, despite our previous posts on them, then here are three of our favorite songs off the album, which we have yet to mention on the site.
They need to come to the U.S.!!!!!!!

alphabeat is just bad taste, it really is.
SHIT! *It sucks!
FIRST.
goood stuff
I FREAKING LOVE ALPHABEAT!!! My sister Elizabeth actually sent you a message the other day about how awesome they are - how did you get the CD??? I'm about to pay $19.99 to buy the import
Love you!
You need to stop trying to be a music critic. Not impressed.
cool. What are the names of the songs???
the last two sound like Bowie…
Yay, they're so good and they're from my country, Denmark! So nice to see that Perez likes good Scandinavian music
they sound awesome!
I`ve seen them once here in Holland, in november. And last teusday they performed in Holland. But they`re very cool and it is a big hit here! I loveeee Alphabeat (by the way, Perez does have a good music taste!)
This is some shitty 'music'.
SUCKS BIG TIME!
I love alphabeat! And it is all because of you Perez!! Thank you!!!!

Perez's website is starting to hit the wall. How much is this band paying you to give them a good review?
first?
Hag music. They suck!
whatever u suck
1st one is good
other two BLOW
hi
perez….are you gay?
It sure seems like a Coldplay imitator to me. How come you have love for them if you hate Coldplay so much. Don't get me wrong, I hate Coldplay too, but their lead singer has that 'thin' vocal that Chris Martin has. You are letting the label influence your taste in music, Mario.
i LOVE alphabeat!
The guy on the far right can sit on my peepee…. =)
Perez - this is shit…I seem to notice a trend, everytime you say something is off the hook it turns out to be dire crap…..you need better taste in music before you go critiquing it.
I'm from Denmark like Alphabeat. I don't like their music, but think it's really cool you're looking out for new artists and support them throught your website.
Re: perni – Re: perni – Re: perni –
Shut up, they`re so hot!
ughhh why listen to music thats just as irritting as the original 80's shit..
not feelin it.. its horrible..
Perez - seriously, give up the music reviews. You SUCK
dork, this is 80s rehash shite. fuck the sloppy hole of alphabeat. heard it ALL before.
Looks like they are all wearing clothes from the PEREZ COLLECTION AT HOT TOPIC! Were they your handful of customers in LA?
my fav song off the album is fasination- its so catchy!
you can proberly get the album of amazon:)
God this band blows.
I can't believe some of the (obviously self-imposed) comparisons that you get to people in music.
Your choices are shit about 95% of the time, and the other 5% are obvious, as they've already been promoted by everyone else in the know.
The reason it's not available in the US is because it's some of the worst shit I've ever heard. This is your crap musical taste at it once again. You say the Coldplay album sucks as does the Lolla lineup? Your just a wannabe "journo" with horrible music taste and old info from other sites who get the scoop first.
I love how Perez acts like he discovers all this shitty music. Like he is so with it. All of it sounds the same, shit they would play at RAGE. Why don't you try promoting a band that actually has the talent to make it past one club hit.
What is wrong with all of you haters?!?! Just because their music doesn't talk about sluts and hoes and boots with fur on them doesn't mean it's not good music. Stop hating and start dancing.
And they sound nothing like Coldplay. That is just ridiculous.
They are danish. So am I. Haha
I love these songs!! They feel so fresh!!!!
God Perez THIS MUSIC SUCKS!!! The 3rd song sounds like a throw back from Madonna, you know the song "Into The Grove"???? Like they semi copied it….
yet another COMPLETELY unoriginal band… just ’cause they're not American doesn't make them good.
an orgasm for my ears.
Re: Sarah – Re: Sarah – ass kisser!!
I'm beginning to like it….. I love your taste in music. Hey, check out The Ting Tings! They're good too.
Ditto Perez, I recently found them and love them! Good music selection, haters don't appreciate good music only overly processed crap. Keep doing what you do Perez.
Sounds like a a better version of B-52's
Thanks Perez!! They're awesome - LOVE the 1st song the best by far!!!!!!
Re: bbbbb – SUCK IT! I have been listening to Alphabeat for months now - there is no ass kissing involved - ONLY GOOD TASTE IN MUSIC.
This group is G.D. amazing. Super fun summertime music.
Comparing them to Coldplay's music? That's preposterous.
do dog whistles sound different to gay people than to straight people?
Is there an extra chromosone somewhere that enables homosexuals to enjoy this music?
love the singles "fascination" and "10,000 nights" which were released here in germany (or the whole of europe?)!!
I
the kids are great
Perez, you getting paid to endorse this stuff?
haha Great taste Perez….. Danes to make great music(yeah proud of my country
)
But we have known them for a couple of years now hehe… great to see you spreading the word!
they tune is great as well as the beat! it's really a catchy song and better than what we have today, BUT…the lyrics…they kinda sound like they came out of a Whose Line Is It Anyway? hoedown.
Awesome! Good sound. Will have to do some searching for sure.
There other singles are WAY much better
:D:D:D:D
alphabeat is so last month!
They sound a lot like maroon 5?
The 2nd song…..on FIAAHH!!!!!!!!!
For real though, that song is the shit!!! Very summerish and clubish…love it!
LOOOOVE ALPHABEAT.
My friend who just moved here from Denmark a couple years ago gave me her Alphabeat CD to rip.
I absolutely LOVE it.
It's like, addictive, or something.
:)
yay for Alphabeat!
OMG! I LOVE Alphabeat! They really need to release their music in the U.S. damnit!! I can't wait!
Actually, I think I'll be paying for the import! I can't wait!!!
Thanks Perez. I love your music picks!
Wow, nothing has sucked more. No rush on bringing that to the US of A.
amazing taste in music perez!
i am such a fan, you rock
Gee, 80's New Wave is back. Instead of music getting better it's come to an abrupt halt and jumped the time machine back in time to the worst decade of music ever-The 80's. Good fucking job.
Booring.
OMG Go go is SO much better! And all of you who has a problem with perez: STOP LETTING ALL YOUR ANGER OUT ON SOME INNOCENT BAND. Thank you.
Greetings from Denmark
I LOVE THIS BAND!!!
THEY ROCK! bring them to Austin perez!!:D
AT THE BEGINNING, THE FIRST SONG SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE A PAOLO NUTINI SONG. YOU SHOULD CHECK THAT OUT.
"WE can't stop listening to it" I not WE
I not WE
Frankenberry is an arrogant famewhore.

Yeah, Perez!! Nice to see you are representing Denmark..
We rock here in Denmark.. You should come.. ;D
oxox
i really like the song "what is happening"
I LOVE ALPHABEAT.
It's sad that they have deleted some songs at the new edition at their debutalbum. 'Into the Jungle', for examble. I think that one is much better than Rubber Boots. I'm gonna see them live this Summer, second time, dudes. They're are so good live. Catch a liveshow with them, if you can. It's almost even better live than on cd.
I love alphabeat also… good you got your eyes open for them.. I am from Denmark and so are they.. They are coming to my small town this saturday..
awful music… as usual.
This is great? What, then, is bad?
Do you really think this is good??? Fucking sux!
Funny, how all of a sudden you're crazy for them. I, (and I'm sure many others), mentioned them to you in emails, months before you talked about them on your site. Then all of a sudden you can't stop talking about them.
Regardless of that, I think it's cool that you take notice to them, cause they really are amazing and they deserve all the attention they can get
Re: Sarah – Honey I don't listen to any music concerning sluts and hos but this stuff is not good. Perhaps you didn't grow up in the 80s…but this sounds like a knock off of the worst of the worst…and if Im going to dance and believe me I do…this wont work….
eeewww! what crap!
Ugh, cheesy pop. How did this dude get his own record label!?
Well I least I know Perez will get fired soon enough…if he thinks stuff like this is good taste.
Why does that version of "Boyfriend" sound so WHACK?
I like the other one better!
And "What is Happening" sounds…different…too.
Oh well, I still looove Alphabeat!
I must say that I really like this music, and it's not just because I'm Danish. You're right, it's not like it's the most original band ever, it's not like we haven't heard this type of music before. But then again, they've never claimed to be original, so .. And honestly - comparing this music to Coldplay os just a disgrace - it is not even near the same genre .. Seems to me like someone may be talking about things they know nothing about.
Last but not least - I wonder why there are so many negative and critic comments .. I mean no one is being forced to go to this site, and it sure sounds like someone see Perez as a needle in the eye, but yet they keep coming back. I personally love this site - it's the perfect way to get my daily dosis of hot gossip - so thanks and keep up the good work, it is being appreciated
i'm seeeing them in 3 weeks for an amazing £9.50!!!*gasp*
These tracks are from Alphabeat's rereleased UK album. Some of them have been slightly updated. Personally, I'm still a big fan of 10,000 Nights. When a song starts off with, "I was not looking for Artsy Fartsy Love" they get my vote.
Brilliant!
The third one sounds like vintage Madonna!
ALPHABEAT IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!
i'm from holland and i love them
Sounds a bit like Scissor Sisters (Great)
Yay!! i am from Denmark, and i loe alphabeat!! Danes do make dam good music..:):)
Just downloaded the album this week….will be seeing them live on Saturday. And it sounds pretty good. Def want to see how they perform live!
complete and utter C-R-A-P.
i know it's good, i have it
Heard it on bbc-1, had it for three months. Like Scouting for Girls better.
Alphabeat are top but you should have put up Fantastic 6, Fascination or 10,000 nights, they are the best songs!
yeah support alfabeat, it just fun loving music, not-save-the-world-music or i'll-cut-myself-besause-i'm-emo-music.
i truley loveeeee ALPHABEAT! This sunday they'll come to Netherlands and John Mayer alsooo ^__^
"What is happening" is my absolute favorite!!!!!! i tried buying it off of the UK itunes store but the billing address needed to be in the UK lol so no luck there
I DON´T LIKE THEM…
I've caught them on BBC radio 1 on Sirius a lot recently. The safety dance song has grown on me a lot!
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I just LOOOVE "Fascination" and the only way to get it is to download it because it's only available on UK iTunes! Can't wait until it comes out in the US!!!!
=]
wow! perez they are really great. i downloaded a few of their songs and they are great i cant stop listening to them. i really like their song fascination. i love the upbeat style they have going on.
ur not fuking european. ur the biggest gayest american there is. stop trying. we don't want u
ALPHABEAT - FASCINATION
The best
