Press Reviews "The quintessence of the suburbs.... Brainy, witty and full of nostalgia. Harmonies that are even more perky and which soar even higher than those found in your average power pop song." - Listen.com • "Band of the Month. Go wallow in their goodness." - Weezer Online • "Something new and very positive.... They all have an infectious love of performing.
