The best part of this band is how awesomely they betray their lineage (Pitchfork/Drive Like Jehu/Hot Snakes/Edsel/Shortstack) and wrangle their own sound. These aren't even their two best songs! There's going to be a full length coming out on Sub-Pop that'll make the kids faint on their parent's couches.<BR/><BR/>They struck me live as an evil Kinks, with alot of call and response lyrics going on. They're super-nice guys to boot, and seem to all have multidiscipline interests in art/design which is probably why this is the best looking record I've seen so far this year.<BR/><BR/>I've got about 50 photos of them and a few very short live clips, if anyone is into that kind of thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
