they sound great, but it's funny how awkward they all come across. hahahah. they look downright uncomfortable trying too hrd to look cool. hahah. keep it up guys!
to be honest I came across this band accidentally at Nordstrom waiting for my girlfriend in the dressing room and this song was seriously the only good thing that came out of Nordstrom. didn't know the guitarist Matt Bennet is from Hawaii! still don't know why these guy's arn't getting that much publicity they're really good :D
Yeah me too. In June. I like them a lot, but they definitely didn't fit in with Ayria and VNV Nation, but I really like how Ronan said he brought them 'cause HE really liked them and thought people needed to expand their musical selection and not down something just because it's unlike what you're used to.
i just played a show with these guys on the 28th. but it was a small local showcase so i had no idea they were as big as they are! its so surprising haha. they were nice guys
Awesome song!First heard on alt-nation Sirius on 8/31/09.....probably best tune going with Santigold-lights out and the new Silver Sun PU song....Great vocal,harmony,guitar....a real throwback to the '80s
saw these guys open for VNV nation in tempe. they sounded great live. i think the 80's just came back!! (the music anyway) thank you Jesus! (top 40 blows)
awesome stuff! why do people leave such dumb ass comments an indication that thier life is meaningless cause they say and see only nothing.5x5 great job, fav'd

i do not comment on bands very often, but it needs to be said:
the music is alright. but these lyrics are abysmal. "from the backseat of my life". wow, beyond bad into a black hole of crap. i suppose his life is a car? but he isn't driving? ooh, chills.
also, could someone give the fellow some cold medicine? he can't seem to clear his throat, and we have to hear him try to do it at the start of each line. it's even worse than tori amos's inhaling habit, and that is hard to do.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you are not bryan ferry by a long shot. why are you pushing this junk at us? we want some rock 'n' roll. you should give it a try.
please figure out how to write and sing anything at all, while not being so mannered. better yet, everybody just go and listen to the JAMC or the Ramones. nothing to hear here, folks, move on.
There's definitely a strong Cure influence - even the video has an In between days feel to it. Just found out about this band today reading a local music scene newspaper - glad I did. Love them.
this is a very awesome band. Very unique, i can totally hear an influence of THE CURE in this song. If you havent picked up this CD yet do so, its really good.
Ayria was nothing to write home about, but the "drummer" was :) . Glad these guys aren't following them to Europe, sorry I listened and tried to get the angle.
Yea saw them in Cleveland on the 12th. Did not care for the way they played live. Bought both of their CDs, good band but their live performances need some work!
WAR TAPES fantastic video- CONRATULATIONS! so fresh and so hot!! Great son as I have said before- you uys could be the next U2- keep your image! keep your sound! keep your integrity!
Matthew Marvin Bennett is a freaking ROCK STAR!!! Hot DAMN listen to that boy play! Good on ya Matt, you found your sound with this band. Big love homey.
Holy kittens at the voice that comes outta that guy. Ya would not see that coming! Lol, nice song though.
