Mike SimpsonThis Will Destroy YouThis Will Destroy You has always been kind of a polarizing band, whether for its ear-piercing doomgaze or the offensive onstage antics that were on full display at last year's NX35 Music Conferette.

It's about damn time an indie pop track reached the top of the charts. I was getting kind of tired of throwing a few of my favorite pop artists under the bus for their bad efforts...

People keep commenting on our post about Edgefest 20 from early last month, saying that a) I apparently didn't give the Deftones, Neon Trees and the Crash Kings enough credit, and b) that Phoenix sucks.
