Pretty decent electro-pop band, I heard "Crimewave" on Sirius so I thought I'd check them out. Kind of reminds me of Broadcast:

"In mid-2008, Crystal Castles became focal in several plagiarism disputes. Pitchfork Media and The Torontoist published stories about Crystal Castles' use of Trevor Brown's artwork without permission. The image, depicting a black-eyed Madonna,[23][7] was used by the band on merchandise, after being found on an "old flyer, without credit", with the hope "that the artist might reveal themselves and make contact".[7] The band were also alleged to have plagiarised several songs from the chiptune community, including "Insecticon", which shares similarity with a song by Lo-bat called, "My Little Droid Needs a Hand", and were accused of "stealing the beat" from Covox's "Sunday", in the song "Love and Caring"."

I like some of the songs off the album, there's a lot of filler though
