I mean, at this point, that's just like calling your song "Led Zeppelin" or "Black Sabbath" or something. Why would you do that?
And then to have it suck so much on top of it?
Oh, I get it.

DouchebagBandMember#1: Hey let's call this song "Black Keys" so that when people search Google or whatever, they accidentally get forced into knowing about our song!
DouchebagBandMember#2: I don't know man, isn't that kind of, cheap? And douchey?
DouchebagBandMember#1: So what brah! Cash rules everything around me, get the money, dolla dolla bills y'all!

For Shame.

Someone has clearly been studying TBK very hard and narrowing it down to a few points.

Heavy drums fuzzy guitar. The "solo" riffs are similar too. Very lame song.

Dudes voice is shiiiiit too.

I have a headache now.

Nice Wutang reference Mirby. I do think its bad that they named the song Black Keys, even if their intentions weren't evil and rotten. If it was 4 years ago, and The Black Keys were relatively unknown still, I guess it wouldn't be as bad, but everyone knows them now. I didn't mind the song until about one minute into it (No pun intended), it got old fast. And it definitely sounds like a rip off of a bunch of bands I know.

and they're a 3 piece too. So i think they're copying BRMC. Doesn't change the fact they've called one of their songs Black Keys though

It's better than anything I've written. But I'm not a professional musician. I have a day job and am pretty shitty/mediocre at playing guitar.
I don't think I have to like everything that's better than I can do. Heh. I hope not.

They definitely aren't bad. I just think their problem is they aren't doing anything unique. Like I said they sound like a mash up of every other rock band out there, BRMC especially.

Come on guys, before being a awsome band's name, black keys, are just black keys...
I don't see evil at this door I guess.
Not "so" bad anyway.

They do have some TBK influenses, I can hear that. But hey...since El Camino came out TBK don't sound like TBK anymore, or do they?
