Got tickets to see them next week. Sold out show at the Granada Theater here in Dallas.

I like a few of their songs. Seem like a pretty straight-forward rock band. Anyone seen them live?

    Have fun man. I was at Granada 2 weeks ago for a show and it's a bad ass theater. The Burden Brothers was my first stand up show there (GA) and I've seen Joe Bonamassa for a few reserved shows. I saw Jimmy Eat World was playing, and found it was sold out. They sell out Dallas all the time.

    I saw them live a few years ago, right when In the Middle and The Sweetness became hits for them. It was a festival show where they headlined, but still didn't get a lot of time on stage. They had a good sound and didn't make a lot of mistakes, but they lacked a stage presence at that time. Also, the crowd interaction could have been better. Overall, I enjoyed them, but they could have definitely had a better show.

    great band. they kind of got lumped in with the pop-punk genre which is shame because they show alot more than that on their albums, they write some beautiful songs as well as the catchy singles. new album before the years out, can't wait.

    They're a really great live band.

    First time i saw them they were below Green Day and the Foos at the T in the Park festival in Scotland and they outshone both those bands that day.

    Saw them a couple of times touring the Futures album and the raw spark they seemed to have on the Bleed American stuff had faded a little but I think thats cos the newer songs were a bit more polished.

    Really looking forward to hearing this new record. Futures was a little over-produced so i hope they've got the more stripped down sound back.
