The Resume

    Born in United States
    (2002- )
    Formed in Brooklyn, New York
    Members are Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser
    Recorded the songs 'Time To Pretend,' 'Electric Feel' and 'Kids'

Why they might be annoying:

    Their music videos look like acid trips.
    They dress in very odd outfits.
    They were originally named The Management. They realized there were several other bands with that name, so they abbreviated it.
    'Time To Pretend' and its catchy synth line was used heavily in the movie '21' and in ads for the movie 'Sex Drive.'

Why they might not be annoying:

    Their music has been described as a 'college dorm experiment gone horribly right.'
    They fuse elements of psychedelic rock, pop, prog rock and dance music, and make it work.
    The band unintentionally formed during Andrew and Ben's freshman year at Wesleyan University. Ben stated, 'We weren't trying to start a band. We were just hanging out, showing each other music that we liked.'
    They were ranked the #1 new artist of 2008 by Last.fm.
