    Great band! Their latest self-titled album is hands down one of the best rock records I've heard in a while. Word is they have a new one coming out sometime this year.

    Check out their performance of "Jaws of Life" from the East Coast Music Awards:

    Indeed they did! They also just spent a few weeks opening for the Hip in the southern U.S.
