Sucky name, worse new sound. How freaking sad. From great indie band with their own sound to shitty pop(ish) band that sounds like everyone else. [2]

bender also has another meaning in the UK, meaning 'a long and eventful time drinking alcohol'. for example, what was last saturday night like? "oh man, we went on a bender!" i always imagined the name being like that. start drinking in the morning and go on some silly adventures. if you have seen the hangover (or part 2) that is exactly what 'bender' means in its non-homosexual use

Changing their name was a really bad idea. 'Bender' is a pretty lighthearted term here, and not at all the British equivalent of 'fag'. If you went up to someone's face and yelled in all earnest "YOU FUCKIN' BENDER!!!" you'd be laughed at. It's a word that carries about as much malice as 'gaylord' or some shit.
