Artist description Kind of like if They Might Be Giants met Too Much Joy and Material Issue at a bar and they all got into a drunken brawl and then Sheriff Frank Zappa and his deputy, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, walked in and started ripping up the joint and then everybody moved to New York and went to a party with Warren Cucurullo and Big Ass Truck. That'd be a really interesting party.

Press Reviews Clever, quirky, intelligent, catchy, well executed, twisted Pop - Internet Rock Bands Reviewer ..... Very different. Awesome backing melodies and unique lead vocals. cool voice. kind of a twisted, pop sound with overtones of beck. good use of sequencing to give it that weird, dreamy feel to it. drums fit music and bass is warm and full. Very original and raw, yet melodic - Garageband.com Reviewer ..... Alright!! I gave you guys 5 stars and think you're worth every one of them.That was real good.Now go get this song on the radio.What are you waiting for? - Garageband.com Reviewer ..... Totally bizarre song but strangely charming. Nope, not bad at all. - Garageband.com Reviewer ..... Nice catchy sound, vocals remind me of They Might Be Giants, cool piano solo, very cool. - Garageband.com Reviewer ..... Groovin' beats and mixing quality make this song great original sound you guys have going on. - Garageband.com Reviewer ..... I may not have seen them perform, per se, but I've seen past bands they've all been in and seen at least one of them puke. There are plenty of bands I've seen live, like Rush, whom I've never seen puke. So that really says something. About what, I have no idea. - Bands I've Seen Live reviewer ..... OH MY GOSH! you guys are so totally my favorite band now! i'm your newest, greatest fan, i swear! your music is awesome! where can i get more? there's only two of you? you guys are so talented. which of you sings backup on Shut Me Down? that voice is totally sexy. it gives me goosebumps! you're better than matchbox 20 and the backstreet boys put together! i'm going to get all of my friends to listen to your stuff, too. *there go those goosebumps!* - Our Newest, Greatest Fan
