I know I've talked about them before. I think they get unfairly dumped into the whole "college rock for people who aren't so into music" category, but listening to their newest stuff on MySpace, I can't help but get carried away. I suppose it's also because Seth is going to be tour managing them now as well that I think of them more often, but I'm really digging them. Plus, they have a very fun live show.
But I find it strange because all the people I knew who liked them when I was at Uni were, well, very freaky and very obsessed with them. To the level that it was scary. As in they couldn't talk about any other band. I remember one girl at KTCU who would not shut up about them. The rest of the staff ended up hating them because of this girl...just by default. I made the mistake of saying I actually thought they were good, so every time I was around, she kept trying to talk about them to me. I find that behaviour a bit weird.
But I think it's a label that's not deserved. They are a great pop/rock band, and seem to be only getting better.
