hey, is there an artist that continually misses album release deadlines and never puts out new material despite claiming to be working on it?
...cause right about now, that'd be embodying the Songfight spirit from my perspective.

It took Brian Wilson over 20 years to finish "Smile"
Do you have a sandbox?

What? Sounds like a Disney channel band.

Tis. I met them in Disneyland when I was about 13 and liked that kind of music. Lately, I've been rocking out to their "music" when I drive around for the memories.

Aussie bands i think fit the bill.
The Grates: They have that energetic, recorded in the bedroom vibe, which I get from Songfight a lot.
Spiderbait: Aren't afraid of covering obscure tunes and putting their slant on it, plus they are big users of the effects-pedelled-bass-to-be-a-rhythm-gutiar thing, which is at least Klownholish (and an irregular feature of Sausage Boy songs).
Gerling: Repedative sampled loops, blippy noises and hardly understandable distorted vocals passed off as a song. Sometimes, they are good too.
The Avalanches: Same reasons as Gerling.
TISM: More bedroom music, but with the added bonus of references to stuff that hardly anybody else knows about, like Swanson St or Victorian Railway Stations.
Oh, and talking of Ben Folds, he covered Such Great Heights by The Postal Service on Triple J a couple of months back. It was him with a piano with foil wrapped around the higher note strings, and four drummers hitting various objects (like lunch boxes, chairs and stuff like that). It actually sounds really good, a very appropriate cover.

Yes - TISM are also anonnymous mask-wearers with silly psuedonyms who probably have boring real life jobs.
