I was in a store and they were playing, I asked who they were and the kid told me. I never heard of them. I listened to them on youtube and I dig'em.
Pretty cool stuff.

    Consider yourself lucky to just walk in and see them. They're a really cool and fun band. If you're just gettin started i would start with the early stuff and work my way up.

    Excellent band. I'm hoping to catch them this fall when they come around. Good find.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    I'm seeing them for the 4th time in August. They are just over the top fantastic.

    Start out with Thickfreakness. But honestly it doesn't matter which one you start out with. The new album is flat out over the top fantastic.

    Dan has great tone and a great voice.

    I can't believe there are people who haven't heard of them at this point. Go see them live, they are incredible. They are doing a show with MMJ at Red Rocks that is going to be great.

    Fkn fantastic band! And they will melt your face off live. All their albums are kick ass. For two guys....their sound is massive.

    Can't wait to see them in the fall!

    Their drummer amazes the hell out of me! I swear he looks like Bonham when he starts drumming.

    Awesome band. Kinda like the White Stripes, but dare I say more bluesy. Their latest album "Attack and Release" is awesome. Just a solid discography overall really. Rubber Factory is also excellent. Check em out!

    I was randomly listening a few albums in a music store and Attack & Release caught my attention so I bought it :D
    Great album !
    So now, I'm looking forward to hear some of their previous albums. Any recommendations ?

    Love this band. Their live show is astounding. I'll be seeing them twice in August, once at Lolla and then opening for the Black Crowes.
