Does It Offend You, Yeah? was formed in Reading, UK in 2007 and released their first album in Spring 2008. They were the ninth most listened to new band of 2008 on last.fm [1] They also made it onto the best alternative music list of 2008 on iTunes USA, along with Foals, MGMT and Santogold. Does It Offend You, Yeah? have been compared by some to dance-oriented acts like Daft Punk. Justice and Digitalism. NME compares them to bands like Muse due to their heavier, more "live" sound. The group is known for their raucous live shows, which often end in stage diving and broken instruments. Lead singer James Rushent co-produced The Prodigy's "Invaders Must Die" and their top ten hit " Omen". They have remixed songs for acts such as Muse, White Stripes and Bloc Party. The band's records are written, performed and produced by James Rushent, Rob Bloomfield and Dan Coop. In 2008 they were joined on stage by guitarist Morgan Quaintance.
