    I love them especially since they're a beantown band. I just recieved an email update from them. I saw multi times when they toured with my friend Michael Franti and his band Spearhead and a couple times at the 9:30 Club in DC. Hung out with them backstage and they gave a couple of their cd singles and they were so easy to talk to.

    Funny in the cd store I was just thinking about them today and when they maybe releasing a new album.

    hard to compare them to anyone...check out their album "us against the crown". Its one of those albums that you can play all the way through, a classic.

    If you like their sound also check out Dispatch which was the former band...very similar.

    Funnily (I know it's not a word but who cares) just this week I was looking at a few of my State Radio photos from a show back in 2007. Next thing I know I get the memo from HOB that they're coming to town.

    I like that funky homemade guitar.

    I gather I'm going to miss the opening of their tour 9/30 after last night U2 extravaganza. I now found out I twisted my ankle in a fall and also busted my phone. They could play in my back yard and I would be able to go. :(

    Time for an upgrade. :)
