Really? The first time I heard them was when they covered Radiohead's
Street Spirit. I thought it was hilarious. The "poking fun at rock and
roll" stuff is in their music as well as everything else. I can't imagine
someone hearing them on the radio and thinking that they were serious.

But they sound exactly how they look. They sound like a parody of 70s/80s
rock and they look like a parody of 70s/80s rock. It's one big parody, with
some impressively catchy tunes thrown in. It's my belief, that you can tell
this simply by hearing them. The rest of it just confirms it, if you
initially thought that, for some reason, they could be serious.
