I'd prefer to call them a bunch of wankers, but that's just me as a bitter American who blames a large part of current global recession on greedy bankers screwing people to line their own pockets. |
| Sloggydog (UK) | Posted: Mar 04, 2012 - 01:36 Loving the guitar |
| gypsyman (just passing through....) | Posted: Feb 27, 2012 - 09:04 Stunningly good. A shock on the vocal gender progenitor, but still stunningly good. |
| xtalman (What dimension?) | Posted: Feb 27, 2012 - 08:56 Hearing a bit of Jack White vocally.

| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Dec 06, 2011 - 07:41 "banker", "anchor" - that just calls out for another rhyming word... :o) Clue: a group of financial suits is often known as a 'wunch', as in 'a wunch of bankers'. As for the song, this guy's voice just gives me earache after a while :( |

Doesn't affect my enjoyment of the music. Just saying... I guess I will always hear a woman singing first when this plays. Goosebumps when I hear this with the lyrics though.Hehehe — yes I thought this sounded like Nelly Furtado! I like it — just surprised to find out it is a male singer. |
| jpfueler (Burleson Texas, (South o' Ft Worth)) | Posted: Oct 13, 2011 - 16:38 Bet Asaf can do killer covers of Jack White. |
| scrubbrush (Sea of Calm) | Posted: Oct 13, 2011 - 16:36 Wow. very good. immediate 8. |

| ch83575 | Posted: Sep 27, 2011 - 13:31 Ok Bill... you got me. I usually complain about the dudes that sing like chicks, but I kinda like this one. |
| MiracleDrug (Earth) | Posted: Sep 27, 2011 - 13:24 this sounded like the singer was using the facilities (loo) during the recording...  |
| bluecshells (EARTH) | Posted: Sep 27, 2011 - 13:21 Whole lotta SOUL! |
| jules44 (Sunny North Carolina) | Posted: Sep 27, 2011 - 13:20 nope...nice song just hate the voice. |

| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Sep 09, 2011 - 19:34 I'll dance to this... |
| Cynaera (Kenneth's Frequency) | Posted: Sep 04, 2011 - 10:59 To reiterate: Asaf Avidan is a HE, not a SHE. 'Cept, I can't think of a male vocalist to which to compare his voice - he really does sound like Janis...  |

| suesblues (Sydney, Australia) | Posted: Sep 02, 2011 - 17:00 wow, love this sound. Breaking passionate tremulous shouting voice, mellow, laid back vibe, is she chanelling Janis Joplin perhaps? |
| ladron (:O) | Posted: Aug 30, 2011 - 22:23 Reminded me of Sinead O'Connor for some reason. Anyway, I liked it. |
