They're like a big mix of some of my favorite bands, like Muse and Coldplay with 30 Seconds To Mars as the cherry on the top of it

i think they had a concert here a while ago.... actually that song is tad bit surprising since i only heard this one lol:


they seem to be quite well known.

Yes, Hurts are great! I am loving Exile too - I actually prefer it to their first album.

As for Jay Chou,he's a totally phenomen: he composes all his music,writes some of his lyrics,can play 15 instruments (according to wiki) and his music variates from rap, R'n'b, hip hop, rock, traditional chinese, pop, electronica, classical, country..etc He is very different from everything I've listened until now and he's the first that really "caught my attention" since I discovered Ayu - I can say he's the male version of Ayu regarding his versatility. Highly recommended!!

I keep meaning to properly check him out. I've had a little listen to some of his songs before but nothing caught my attention. He has some really cool CD covers though, and after reading his Wiki page, I really like that he pays more attention to composing music than to writing lyrics - its usually the other way around! (Slightly OT but I think some singers bang on about writing their own lyrics/connecting to the song/talk about how "personal" the song is too much. I'm more about the music than the lyrics myself.)
