Surely a sign that I'm getting old, or perhaps it's my suburbia like environ these days, but I don't necessarily value profanity the way I used to. So take my next tip with a fucking huge grain of salt.
Holy Fuck rocks the show. Do I wish their name didn't smack of effort to be "cool"? Yes. But despite their ill-chosen namesake, this band is one of my new faves. Sometimes aggressive, sometimes ethereal, I love the way they treat lyrics as secondary and focus on the msuic. Sometimes you don't even know what they are saying or even if it is real words. But no matter, it's great shit nonetheless.
Their album, Holy F**K is well worth the small chunk of change to buy the whole damn thing.
The irreverence reminds me of an old fave, the Inspiral Carpets and the T-shirt I owned once with a cow head on it that read 'Cool As Fuck". I wore it often.

Ah. I've been reading about them a lot lately. I too was a little put off by the "please don't think I give a fuck (I really give a fuck)" name. Glad to hear they're worth the listen. You'll have to share :)
