Additional Info Whereas I used to say that [Old College Try] just sounded like the Foo Fighters, now I realize that they're more like Jimmy Eat World and the Dismemberment Plan, maybe with a tiny bit of the Foo thrown in (not to mention that I've determined that Eric is one of the best frontmen out of all the local bands I've ever seen, and ladies, he looks a lot like Tom Cruise, if that's your thing). Go see these bands I talk about. I promise you'll thank me. (http://subinev.com/index.php?x=mtlog/archives/000713.html#000713)
