They're not. They're doing the same thing the White Stripes and The Hives and The Strokes and myriad upon myriad other bands have done or are doing. They're taking old genres of music and updating it slightly for today. That is all.
Mind you, I don't hate the Black Keys. The few singles I've heard have been alright. And they're definitely making some of the best music videos today. But I just don't think they're the rock god revolutionaries everyone seems to think they are.
Favourite band shall always be Brand New.
