I think the buzz is about the smart lyrics, the tight musical structure, and the wonderfully original storytelling.

Saw them for the first time at the Big Day Out in Sydney this January. It was blazing hot. I'd heard good things about them but hadn't actually heard them. They were sublime. Raced out the next day and bought the Hazards. Been obsessed ever since. Have turned a dozen friends into fans. More please!!
