Anyone remember these guys? I thought "Welcome To The North" was a pretty decent album. I thought they vanished, but apparently they are about to release a new album.

    Ugh. How did they come up with that name, do you know? I can't imagine the mentality of people who are sitting around and think "hey here's a good name: The Music!"

    it's disgusting.

    But who knows. i don't know how they got the name. "The Band" is an equally disgusting name but they didn't really name themselves, it was just sort of stuck on them.

    Sorry, this isn't the point of the thread. I'm just venting. :)
    saw things so much clearer

    when does it come out? i only saw news of the single being available for preorder on their website.

    i really like these guys, although i didnt' buy the last record. i think their first was much better than the last one, but i still want to pick it up at some point.

    yeah but if you know anything at all about the band you will know that they are in fact the band. there is no weakness there. to me they are the quintessential american band.

    Yeah, it must be hard to google their name or search for them on youtube. Same with The Muslims, who are an awesome band.

    I didn't know they were still on the go. I saw them at a festival when the first album came out and they were very good. But I never heard anything of them after that. What's the best album?

    bump

    They've been updating their facebook page with possible hints of a return.

    Great band. Welcome to the North got me into them with the song Breakin'. And i think i they opened up for The Vines in '02 in philly cause i got a demo cd from them around that time. Last album, Strength in Numbers was pretty solid. Well hopefully they do, it's been about 12 years.
