Toupé are a rather unique band, really quite funny, with two bass players and no guitar.
The come from Southampton, UK, near where I live (the Isle of Wight).
Definately different, as well as their songs being different from most other stuff, they're also different from each other, they have quite a wide range of stuff.
You can check them out at
toupe.co.uk , where you can hear a few of their tracks (

They've had various reactions, from being called "the musical equivalent of Tim Burton" on the BBC site to Kerrang not liking it at all (or so I hear). So, what do you all think?
