Wow. Seriously.

They do so well what puny indie singers try so hard (but fail) at.

They've been using The Swell Season for a long time, no need to be so rude about it.

They have been on tour as The Swell Season for 3-4 years, since their first album "The Swell Season" came out in early 2006. That album is very good as well. Marketa wrote a beautiful music piece which also named The Swell Season,
check it out.

Thanks.
