Driven by Eddie Argos' enthusiastic spoken-sung vocals and witty insights on pop music, pop culture, and relationships, Art Brut make brilliantly simple art-punk. They stood out from their early 2000s contemporaries like Franz Ferdinand and Bloc Party thanks to Argos' one-of-a-kind viewpoint, which was the heart and soul of the band's music on rawer albums like 2005's debut Bang Bang Rock & Roll as well as more polished ones such as 2011's Brilliant! Tragic! and 2018's Wham! Bang! Pow! Let's Rock Out! When archival releases like 2024's And Yes, This Is My Singing Voice! and 2025's Sorry That It Doesn't Sound Like It's Planned! appeared, Art Brut were seen as standard-bearers for Idles, Dry Cleaning, and other outspoken U.K. post-punk revivalists.
Members of Art Brut include, or have included, Eddie Argos, Jasper Future, and Chris Chinchilla.
