Heavily influenced by jungle and punk, MSI look and sound like delinquent school kids. Lead singer Jimmy's stage outfits often upstage their music. Judge for yourself.

Charlie
Fricking awesome! I was right at the front amongst a crowd of sweaty goths & loving it!

Scotty Mac
Is it wrong for a 20 year old as myself to know all the lyrics to their music? Of course not! They were amazing, intentionally arrogant and one of the most fun bands out there. Anyone that thinks Jimmy Urine was being a pompous idiot, well you just fell into the trap of how he wanted you to react! :D

Aaron

Mindless Self Indulgence were SO amazing at Reading! They were so much fun and brought the stage to life. I went crazy for them, come back soon, guys... you really made my Sunday.

Rick
Absolutely awesome set by these guys at leeds, Jimmy is a legend shame the crowd was scared to move

Holly
MSI are a great band - always have, always will. But why doesn't the BBC record them? I'm too young to go to a concert like R & L Festival, and I was hoping the BBC would have some foutage of their set - as they were on the main stage and everything. But nothing. I just hope next time they do something like this, I hope they put a MSI set up.
