apparently in an interview, they said they didn't want to use too much bass because it was too underground, they wanted to promote the 'higher pitched poppy dubstep' for a wider audience.
I'd fucking love to find the source for this, but I got told it whilst drunk from someone drunk so not sure how accurate it is. Defo believable though.
Played at the same gig as them a couple of weeks ago. Didn't show up for their set for obvious reasons, although I guess it could have been funny.
They are doing a DJ set in Southend tonight.....at whats pretty much the main 'club' for standard chavs and regular people. Its like them doing a gig at Oceana or something. (which funnily enough Shy FX and Stamina are doing in Kingston soon).

My soundsystem can't find the bass
Never understood the UKF shite btw, used to be a proper channel with some good tunes, now it's a weekly update of cringing noises? Apparently it has become the new main source for dubstep, poor mr. Inspector but euh fock 'm all, gosh I love this smiley
edit; just listened to a couple of songs, isn't this pop? Instead of Dubstep?

I slagged them off on twitter, as you do (without @'ing them). Next morning I woke up to a facebook message from one of them.
To be fair it wasn't arsey or anything, thought it was jokes that he took the trouble to search my name on facebook though.
