Anyone a fan of these guys?

I had heard of them and I liked the name but not listened, then a guy in New York recommended I buy their album Simple Math...... omg it's a revelation! I absolutely love it (and don't worry they're not emo screamo :lol: )

First hearing I thought wtf? too country, too indie, too laid back for me, but given the obligatory 4 listens and I am totally and utterly hooked. They're quite proggy and definitely different. I believe they played Leeds a couple of years ago, on a mission now to see them and buy the back catalogue (if there is one) here's a couple I recommend you listen to....

First impressions are that they are a bit too indie for me. However will give them a few more listens as the tracks are fairly easy listening thanks MCR :D

Reminds me of early R.E.M. kinda OK, but not really my thing.

Not bad at all. Very american sounding, give him a bit more twang in his voice and they will sell by the bucketload over there.
