A few days ago iTunes had a free single for them and I was interested and ended up buying the whole album. Trust me anyone who likes the black keys or white stripes has to get their album "Fits". It's seriously just awesome jamming with hardly even any song structure at times. but they use a bunch of layering to make it all trippy. They're like the black keys on acid. Oh and the bassist is awesome, a little Les Claypool-ish.

I got home earlier and was jammin to them in my car. They are fucking good. Anybody reading this has got to check them out.

    haha wow. They are awesome. I'm absolutely terrible at putting my thoughts into words but they're just awesome. They have all sorts of trippy sounds layered onto this messy dirty garage rock sound. You basically listen to it and say to yourself "what the fuck?"

    I love these guys! Check out the songs 'I Start to Run' and 'Paint Silver Gold'-- two of my favorites of theirs!

    the only analogy i can think up: if radiohead got together in the 70's, this is what would have resulted.

    WEQX has been playing Pretty Green over the past couple of couple of weeks. Got Fits, D, and Corsicana Lemonade this week. I am very impressed. These guys are really good. Highly recommended checking them out.
