Wow. What a wonderful band.

[TravisGM91]

yeah i get you man, every song is just amazing, which is quite rare in a band, apart from the song "around", the quality of that recording is quite bad, and his singing is different and kinda noobish, it's a good song, it's just quite old if u get me

[andrewkahn75]

This band is almost TOO good.
