  • I love Franz Nicolay, he sounds like he's got really varied influences but he kind of ties it together with a punk sensibility. It's awesome.

  • dude, i met this guy. And he plays over 50 instruments. He was explaining to me how an accordian works lol.

  • This guy is fookin unique as unique can be, a true punk.

  • He doesn't have a great or refined voice by any means but I dig the lyrics and despite not having a great voice he still manages to sound good, but who's to judge whether or not he has a good voice, Craig Finn doesn't really have that American Idol voice either but he still puts on a damn good show.

  • his voice in ther verses actually reminds me of sage francis a bit. great song.

  • I didn't get it until I saw the interview. I love it now. And even though it's different I really like his style of singing.

  • nice to hear a voice to those crazy keys. I never knew Franz was a multi-instrumentalist... nice to see him branch out.....especially with such a "hold-steadyish" feel to it...his song constructing gives great hope for the Steadys future. very encouraging.

  • this song is amazing.
