These boys function as a well oiled "rock locomotive" heading fast into deafening guitar amps, pounding drums, sex, alcoholism and certain drug addiction.

"CLASSIC--and a whole lot of other superlatives. Rise right on up the Top Of 2007, boys! So many great sounds going on here...with betwitchingly catchy songs, colorful, exciting hooks and nerve-center hitting melodies. For fans of Sloan, Velvet Crush, Zumpano, Arlo, New Pornographers, The Shins, The Figgs and Spoon. Stacks of 3 part harmonies, refreshing, slippery hooks, sugary subversive melodies all over the place, all wrapped up in a `could be huge playing in arenas in that alternate musical universe so many of us rhasodize over-a-few-beers.` Brimming with great, memorable song after song, blossoming into Technicolor view. These `frauds` are the real deal and about as authentic as it gets. Yes, Not Lame is over the top on this one. It`s pretty much perfect for these ears....Grade "A", Extremely Highly Recommended, Not To Be Missed, you name it. Walk with us on this one, okay?" -NOT LAME RECORDS

Hey, thanks for friending me! I'm just a local who never knew where 2 go so I built this site in my spare time. It's all user generated so I really need some help uploading cool bars and specials. I also made up a place where we can post events too. Check it out and let me know what you think. I am still building it so if you have any suggestions, I can usually put them in right away.
The site's address is yourareacode.com. Thanks again!
