Xavier Price
Never listened to a single track from them.
They broke up spectacular fashion though.
they both seem like dishonest twats
Luis Fisher
they’re both tryhard hipsters, very typical of people from toronto
i liked their music, alice’s stage presence was 100% a character she was playing. definitely played up how fucked up she was and whatnot
t. went to several of their shows in 2008-2011
Aaron Wilson
I remember a show in 2008 where she was sweaty as fuck and kept whispering things into the microphone and then screaming. She grabbed my wrist while climbing over a crowd. So fun.
Camden Hill
>They broke up spectacular fashion though.
Really, what happened?
James Turner
she accused him of rape
and he called her a liar
and sued her for ruining his tour
I think he lost
Cameron Morales
CC are cool as fuck but i think theyre both sort of retarded.
Alice is still cute and ethan id still good at making music tho
Camden Turner
this is how it went down
>alice suddenly leaves CC in 2014, no explanation why
>embarks on a solo career
>ethan finds another vocalist and continues as CC
>neo-CC releases new album 2 years later
>1 years after that and just before neo-CC is to begin its first tour alice accuses ethan of being abusive
>tour cancelled
>ethan sues alice for defamation and lost tour revenue
>dismissed with prejudice (so he can't appeal or whatever and i think he had to pay her court costs)

is her solo work looking into or no?
Kayden Rivera
Her first ep wasn't much good, but I'd say the jury is out until the album drops sometime soon, I don't think we've heard everything she has to offer yet.

Colton King
it's a Trevor Brown artwork which CC used for their shirt designs without Brown's permission
pitchfork.com
accusations of CC stealing other people's work were rampant during the band's early years of hype to the extent they made it part of their whole image, there was also the controversy that they refused to credit the chiptune musicians they sampled
Gavin Wright
also they used it on their first EP
Crystal Castles' are one of the last bands I can think of who rose to infamy not because of industry connections or even because their music is that remarkable, but based upon their skill at blagging in a very punk way, they're stealing this, they're not crediting that, wow did you know that Ethan hacked his synth to used an Atari sound chip, did Alice really record Alice Practise without knowing the mircrophone was on?
Cooper Sanders
they played shitty laptop chiptune electroclash for years after it was out of style
the only reason anybody ever cared was because of alice.
proof me wrong
Oliver Kelly
So did they actually steal chiptunes on their first album or was that just chiptune autists being salty? Was a big controversy back in the myspace days
Kayden Martin
i thought this was the yeah yeah yeahs
Christopher Ortiz
the controversy was this iirc
whosampled.com
Of course sampling in electronic music is such a benign issue, it only became an issue early in the band's career for two reasons, one because a band who was attracting a considerable amount of hype was using samples from the relatively fringe chiptune scene without permission, and two because as mentioned previously it was part of CC's image and controversy was how they perpetuated their brand
Mason Harris
Goddamn their second album is insane, Celestica, Baptism, pap smear god tier tracks
