Haven't heard them meself, but have heard this said before.

Aren't they formed from the ashes of another (reasonably memorable) band? I forget who.

They're formed from the remnants of Nylon Pylon,an 'almost-but-not-quite' electro-rock thingy from Mancunian parts.There is a bit of similarity,more so than with Hot Chip,can't see that at all,as much as I've tried & read that they're supposed to

I was listening to Chemical Sweet Girl/Me and Madonna by Black Strobe ("Europe's top electro-house group", apparently) this morning and, while they don't sound much like New Order at all, the second track has a blatant Hooky rip-off bassline running through it. Even more so that the one on Minimal by Pet Shop Boys.
