anyone know these guys? Someone just introduced me to them today and I like what I hear. They have a nice power pop/new wave 70s sound. Anyone see them play live? I see they're playing around me in about a month. I think I'll check them out.

GO see them! Saw them 3 weeks ago in front of about 20 people. They got "it". One of those bands that "should" be big and would if there's any justice in this world.

Got all their releases. Solid songwriting, great recordings. Some of it is kind of derivative, but don't let that stop you. If you like "Hang Around", you should like all their other stuff.

I like how they had the audience members dress in 70's garb.

Bumping this thread because they just came out with a new music video, best one yet, homage to They Live

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nNYEG9kmnQk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

That's an amazing video. As far as the band goes, at least with that single, I feel like they're holding back a bit. It's poppy, but it needs more kick.

I honestly wasn't crazy about the song at first but have grown to like it more. I like the little nod to cheap trick in the lyrics. Their last EP I think is the weakest but this music video is one of the best I've seen in years.

Never knew this thread existed. Love their music. "Hang Around" is one of the best songs to come from this city in ages. They play Atlanta enough that I should have seen them by now.

Seen them three times already!
