[kittyxcat8D]

i can't believe i thought this was Led Zeppelin when i first heard it.

[TajemniczaWredota]

@kittyxcat8D I thought so! It's a bit like The Crunge for me :)

[slloom9]

[lonechief]

weirdo music

[kosmonaut5]

[jmrut1992]

ruminate=to chew over again, what does this song mean haha

[bmuscat]

@jmrut1992

Ruminant, as an adjective, means comntemplative, thoughtful, meditative.

[jmrut1992]

@bmuscat ahhhhh, that makes sense

[JustinDTran]

What IS wrong with the voice? In my opinion, it sounds almost exactly like the revolutionary and unique voice of Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin. Very cool vocals!

[shadowofthenuter]

Amazing beat to this song

[PepeSuelo86]

I hate his voice

[DosedBeatnik]

Anyone else notice the exact chords and slightly different phrasing of Neil Young's "The Loner"?

[dritch11]

@DosedBeatnik not the same at all really

[prhpnb]

Great Song! See you at LouFest in August!!!!

[AwWDesignZ]

"He had a blue-eyed merle

and loved an Indian girl

Lived alone in the warm wet fields

In this corner of the world"

-best lyrics!

[dropsofjupiter4]

Love them!

[crazylara101]

Funny Song but pretty awesome :L !

[zaprudermacphee]

glate recard. glate recard.

[poritry1]

WAAAY underrated. these guys really set themselves apart with their great songwriting. love them.

[Freshadeneu]

That opening was a testament to the Wall, right?

[goodratcat]

the bats are one of those bands that seem, at first listen, like another americana band, like uncle tupelo etc. they grow on you more than most. oh, and eric johnson has one of the best voices in any genre. his work with the shins is also testament to his versatility and range. these guys are way underrated.

[707RipOtee]

I like it!!

[grindcoremaniac]

decent indie rock

[XXfuCKY0uXX1]

Sub Pop hasn't had much good since Nirvana

[kissmeimaidiot]

What about Flight of the Conchords?

[PaulAJCMoreau]

funniest band on this planet!

love them

[frescamoe]

@XXfuCKY0uXX1 are you kidding? The Shins are amazing.

[IndependentPresident]

@XXfuCKY0uXX1 Are you kidding me? Sure they aren't a grunge label anymore but the bands are awesome!

just a few (active): Blitzen Trapper, Grand Archives, Fleet Foxes, Helio Sequence, Iron and Wine, Postal Service and since 14th September also Mogwai.

former bands: The Shins, Band of Horses, Rogue Wave,...

So read the bands, listen to them and tell me again that Sup Pop isn't good anymore. :P

[dougofsk8]

[jasonnwest]

what's wrong with the vocals??
