Musically I quite like them, but the singer's voice is extremely unoriginal and just ruins the band for me.

I also just saw them for their first show in Chicago at Schubas...really, really great. Yeah, he sounds like a cross between Billy Corgan and Isaac Brock...but I don't really mind. And anything that brings me back to the Gish / Siamese Dream days makes me think of touching my first boobs and french kissing in my bedroom...which is always a good thing!

Wow. Great band (love the album) and GREAT video. "Little Lover's So Polite" has to be the next one - such a fantastic song. Thanks for posting this.

So terrific. Haven't been that excited about a band since Band of Horses or Van Hunt earlier this year.
