    way ahead of the curve, flares are coming back this autumn

    I'm fine with flares coming back, not so much the band.

    Anyway, Killswitch Engage, mostly sing about lost love.

    Which is even more ironic as the Tintin characters (in English) were Thomson and Thompson rather that the Thompson Twins (copying Dupont and Dupond in the original).
