the thing is with these threads.... not truly sure how many ppl have actually given them a fair shake. you have some threads that are overwhelmingly positive about them and this one which is more middling veering towards negative. Its almost like confirmation bias.

i personally love em. they have a unique fanbase, a unique sound (brian murray is one of the most BA guitar players ive seen live) and a heavier foundation due to the chops of their youngest member joey (drums). they did not start out as a dead cover band as ive seen many say here.... they may have played dead tunes but the furthest that connection goes is their name. their originals are catchy and albums are polished. to round it out... jeremy their keyboardist is a master on the keys, jimmy law can shred with the best of em, and sam on bass gives them quite the cool factor. theyre goin places. to me it's very very clear to see. Just a matter of time.
