Tried listening to their latest album (from 2021) and holy fuck. Imagine the worst possible combination of Chromeo and Muse. They're lucky the crowd didn't pelt them with batteries (something I saw happen to a band opening for Slayer once).

Saw them open for QOTSA a few years back and thought they were pretty good.
My guess (and it is a guess) is the band got onto a festival filled with electronic, pop, hip-hop, or anything else that is not a "rock band" and made the calculated decision that if they were going to go down with the Titanic, may as well flip off the deck chairs, or whatever.

It was Radio 1, and they were reportedly right between a One Direction guy and Lewis Capaldi, so a young MOR pop leaning crowd.

Hey now, I said they were good! I didn't say they were on par with the Jesus Lizard!
