Chris Corner of the Sneaker Pimps fame heads IAMX. Their albums were originally only released in the UK, but finally made their way over to the US. I think they’ve only released two proper albums, with a third coming out this Spring. IAMX will make you want to pop pills and partake in acts of drunken debauchery. The music is very electro-glam as well as dramatic, dark and erotic. I think those are all the qualities I can ever want in music. Chris Corner’s vocals and lyrics are perfectly haunting. The first song I heard was Spit it Out, and I instantly fell in love. I usually have to listen to something a few times before I determine if I like it or not. On a few rare occasions I have instantly loved a band and they usually stay with me for years. Every time I mention IAMX, I seem to be the only one among my circle of friends who has heard of them. As far as I know, only my friend Michelle from London loves them as much as I do. We are always sad when they come into town because nobody ever wants to see them with us, because nobody knows who they are. Nevertheless, they sell out shows all over the world and I am eagerly awaiting their return. If you like electro, and haven’t heard this band I highly recommend them. Here is a link to their myspace page. Their new single, Think of England might be my new favorite, but Spit it Out and President are great songs as well. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do, and maybe when they tour the US again one of you will come see them with me.

Great review! And I’m not just saying that cuz I’m IAMX’s publicist.

Good stuff feverishpoptart.
At first blush they remind me of Muse meets Panic! At the Disco, but, I like what I hear so far. Cheers!
