I absolutely love this song! Saw it on on TVU, and I've been hooked ever since. The fact that I have the same military jacket as the guitarist has nothing to do with why I'm a fan of the band :)
I saw you boys play live at a show in Butte MT a few years ago. i picked up both the albums you had at the time. And i am definitely grabbing this one. I was the only guy in the crowd that had ever actually been to Kansas.. and i took your advice.. I never went back! (texas wasnt much better though.. just saying.. haha)
I'm addicted to this song. Abandon Kansas is too good! And Jeremy's stache...amazing. and Brad Foster is probably one of the cutest guys I've ever seen.
The record this song is on, "Ad Astra Per Aspera", is the featured indie release on Amazon mp3 this month (July). 11 songs for five bucks... go for it.
I just saw these kids May 29th 2011 in Oakdale MN. It's really refreshing to hear a vocalist actually sing instead of imitate perpetually teenish Blink182 like many younger bands today. I can't place who Jeremy reminds me of vocally... Bon Jovi, Glen Campbell, Andy Williams...? Anyway, great pipes, very unique. Great stage presence. Interesting phrasing of the music. The lyrics seemingly all are connected in one giant sentence.
@FreezyAbitKT7A ...Bono Vox ...how could i forget? Also if the band checks out this comment, the was a progressive band in the 80's called Audio Vox they had a song called "Vienna". I bet you'll like it.

loved watching you guys last night. Stayed up (on a school night and I'm in middle school) to watch you guys. I was up till 3 last night so i didn't miss it. Come back to colorado soon!
Awesome video, but you guys sure do like playing in confined spaces..
Looks like the bass player hurt his fingers at 0:09, 0:20, 1:32. I know how that goes, being a bass player myself... :/ Try a bit of super glue on the finger tips. It really does help!
@N1CisSIC Youtube used to block people from putting websites in the comments, that's why I used the (dot) in my message. And if you don't believe amazon and amazonpm3 are the same company that really makes me no difference, you can check the website for yourself. I was just trying to give an underrated band I like some good publicity. No harm meant. =0)
I can't get enough of this song! The vocals are so rich. & I really like the video for its simplicity. Everyone has there own groove & they're dancing to it. Can't wait to see and hear more of you guys.
i absolutely love the band. I love this song. However the video is a disappointment. Cheesiest firework/spark effects ever. i like how you were all crammed in a dress room. But the video didn't tell anything.. didnt go anywhere.. didnt have any story at all. Everything seemed un-related...dead-bolt on a door / stop-motion of u guys moving through a hall / dress room. Maybe it's me but i feel its just random shots to throw together in a music video. Director did a poor job. Excited for the CD tho
@HxCxKnate lol, I love the video. Contrary to your review, I think it's great to have a video that visually interprets the sounds of a song in an abstract way as opposed to the typical literal story-telling interpretation of lyrics - that is never unexpected. And take a closer look at the sparks man....that's not some free 'Moviemaker' effect.....Kevin put some work into that, they're real fireworks. He's good at what he does.
@HxCxKnate just because it's not your taste doesn't mean its not an amazing video. I can see where you would say those things. But, It's 2011. Music videos should be different. I applaud the director for not being cookie cutter. It shows style, class, humor and talent. =]. A video like this puts emphases on the song and not the video. Which is what its all about any ways. The music industry is run on music... not videos. Thats just entertainment and marketing. Keep up the great work guys. <3
@HxCxKnate Why would you look at the video for what you need when it is called the music buisness not the video buisness videos are just for fun and making the song "pop" but still the little details like that mean nothing it's the song they preform on stage i dont expect a video when i go to concerts, lol
