Artist: Controller.Controller, Album: X-Amounts, Song: PF

"Let's work a fine science and pay attention to signs.  Let me try your patience over a telephone line."  Controller.Controller were a Toronto band that formed in 2002.  They were Nirmala Basnayake, Scott Kaija, Colwyn Liewellyn-Thomas, Ronnie Morris and Jeff Scheven.  They formed in 2002 and released their first EP called, History, with Paperbag Records, in 2004.  The band's sound was disco punk.  They had a certain darkness about them yet their music was very rhythmic.  They also created quite a buzz and were quickly being touted as the next big thing in Toronto.  They toured nationally as well as internationally and played shows with Death From Above 1979, TV On The Radio and Franz Ferdinand.  They would release their debut full length, entitled, X-Amounts, in 2006 before calling it quits.  You can read about the band at http://controllercontroller.com/.  The song PF was the lead single from the album, X-Amounts.  You can check out the original video on You Tube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-Z2y104hcA).  You can purchase X-Amounts on Itunes.  Thanks for reading and enjoy!
