    Heck yeah!

    I've seen them live several times now and they're another one of those amazing live acts, like Pearl Jam, that really bring it each night and connect with everyone in the room.

    Their new album is streaming at NPR right now.

    I would love to see them live one day, hopefully they can make it over to the UK someday

    Not a problem my friend. Always love sharing the Avett Brothers with people.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they made it over to the UK soon. This new album is their first on a more major label. That kind of backing could finally get them over there. If so, you gotta go see them. It'll be more than worth every penny.

    Their shows are really high energy. I could see how some people might be put off by their music because it's incredibly "heart on your sleeve" and could come off as cheesy to some, but when you see them live and see those songs in person, you realize how much they actually mean it and feel it. They have a commitment to each and every word they sing. They can go from screaming and stomping around to being so beautiful and quiet. What I also love is how down to earth and grateful they seem to be. Their style of music is something that's just not going to get a great deal of airplay, so touring constantly is how they really make a living and you can see how much they appreciate the crowds who come to see them play.

    I like you dude.. you feel it like I do 8-)

    one of the reason I like them so much, is that they are good honest people. and I like it when good people succeed, and there music is so personal, so every song is never generic.. it has a meaning/feeling and I think that makes the song 10x better! I hope to see that in person one day!

    I'm heading over to my indie record store on my lunch today to pick it up.

    I'm so jealous you're going to ACL! That's one fest I need to get to some day!

    FYI for the month of November you can get Four Thieves Gone for 5 bucks at amazon. Well worth the 5 bucks if you are looking for something good to listen to.

    I have not posted anything in a very long time but I thought I would add my 2 cents on The Avett Brothers. These guys are the real deal.... I have been a PJ fan since the early ninties. I sort of lost my love for music until I came across these guys. The music is alot differnt from PJ but there is alot of honesty in both of these bands. I am from the same area as these guys and have seen them 5 times in the past couple of years which has helped me from my PJ withdrawls. ( Yeap....I am in the south. ) I gave a friend of mine a cd I put together of difFerent songs from TAB. He called me one day and said he didn't get it.... I made him promise to keep the cd and give it time. Well, he gets it now. If you decide to give these guys a chance, I would not start with the new album....just my opion. BTW, here's to PJ playing the south....sometime before I leave this world. ONE LOVE

    one of my favorite bands for sure
    saw them at bonnaroo 08 and hob in orlando

    also whenever one of my buddies sleeps with a poor choice they are greeted with "shame" playing
    the ultimate walk of shame song
    boatloads of shame
