One of the most under rated bands out there. One of the best medley's I've heard in a long time. I perdict this band will win the worlds within the next two to four yrs.

The best they have ever sounded!!!! That was a first class performance that, if played that well at the Worlds, will upset the rankings!! Holy Shite!

Outstanding. The only band i didn't hear in the grade that day due to "beer pressure". Gutted that I missed it now. Prior to hearing this I thought FMM had it by a country mile. Now it's probably a few hundred yards. One of the most consistently musical Bands on the circuit in the modern age. Fantastic Guys. If the MSR is this good on the green you guys could be the dark horses this year. Forget the Power, go the boggies !!!
