Thank god some bands become all the rage. If it wasn't for the next big thing getting put on the cover of weeklies and having their albums reviewed all over the web I doubt I'd have the time to find good music. I don't have the time to hang out in record stores and constantly search out unknown bands like when I was a kid.... I love it when the good bands come right to me.

what's kind of cool is that it came about largely through the internet

A great review on Pitchfork didn't hurt either.
The stuff I have heard is good.

One of the best of the year methinks.

Definately one of the best albums. Their shows are amazing as well.

I saw them play the night before Thanksgiving. Great show. One guy seems to have the role of "goof off." He put on a large motorcycle helmet and banged it with drum sticks, ran around the stage and hanged off of the other bandmates. But they could also be serious as well (must've put that guy into a cage during the slower songs).
It was a small club and they seem to thrive on the intimacy. A great show - and made tolerating Thanksgiving a whole lot easier.

Yeah, I saw them in Detroit. The one goofy guy was pretty neat actually, he had a sort of napoleon dynamite thing going (not in anyone an endorsement of that film)...
its great to see a band where everyone can just kick ass on not only their instruments, but the vocals as well....
definitely a good show.

Someone told me they have moments on stage where they sound of Mogwai... true?

I saw them when they opened for the Unicorns at Hailey's in Denton. I think they misjudged which band should be the headliner. The Unicorns were way too smashed.

your site very very very very very very very very slow to open... in fact i can't manage to load the page.

I know, purevolume is a cheap hosting site for bands...
check our artist collective page instead. In the audio section, you will find a rough live demo of one of our songs digitally altered at the end by our dear friend, simon guibord.. Who is also part of the collective.
*La version française n'est pas encore disponible. Elle sera prête bientôt.
