Art Brut Franchise
Art Brut formed in England in 2003 with the sole (and completely honorable) intention of getting girls and making it to Top of the Pops. The band took its name from a wayward group of outsider artists and immediately began banging out its own form of strongly opinionated, punked-up Brit pop. Their debut single, "Formed a Band," informed everyone of their presence with lyrics like "Look at us/We've formed a band/We're going to be the band that makes Israel and Palestine get along." Led by the distinct Cockney snarl of Eddie Argos, the group corralled its simplistic art-punk urges in its full-length debut, 2005's Bang Bang Rock And Roll.- Art brut's profile on Rhapsody.com
I loved the name Art Brut- the 'outsider' connotations and Argos' stage antics. On the band's name and relevance to the group:
"I knew what the name meant when we started the band because it's my favourite form of art, but the rest of them didn't know. So every night we're going on stage saying, 'Hello, we're Art Brut' and I'd secretly be calling them unable to play and mad and stuff, without them really realizing. I mean, I can't sing or anything. So I feel that we are that side to art." (find original article here)
So i figured if there's a band with a singer who's declared himself unable to sing, there should be a franchise that 'doesn't' sing.
