Robert Plant recently went to see them at their Nashville show. Dang.

Zoso · December 2011

they need to release an album because the ep isn't enough for me right now.. robert plant loved the black keys when they first arrived on the scene which would have helped a lot.

YouTube acoustic "Boys And Girls" from WNRN radio session. Tis good.

They got signed by ATO Records a couple months ago. Full album is supposed to be released in 2012, pretty sure April.

Love the EP, great stuff.

Saw them last week, and they're new stuff is so different but riveting!
She's a prodigy; her voice is so pristine, so powerful yet full of vulnerability

I would rather see Courtney Barnett headline.
Alabama Shakes are overrated.

PJ_Soul · March 2015

I bought this album, but then I recently traded it in at the record store. I just wasn't listening to it, so I asked myself why not? Because they sound really good! And then I realized that it's because, IMO, they just aren't original. Whenever I put it on I felt like I was listening to some other artist of the same genre. The more I listened, the more I felt like this is just kind of a copycat band.... They have talent. They should try and point it towards more originality.

New live video they released today. First of four live videos that will be released. Shot by Danny Clinch at Capital Records Studio A.

I'm in the other camp in that I love the album. One of the better albums to come out so far in 2015, IMHO. I agree they sound good and hear a lot of fresh sounds on the album. If indeed they are a copycat band, who are they copying? I def hear some influences in there yet, similar to PJ and 70's rock, they've been able to build on their musical foundations and create something that's their own.

Brittany Howard just released a new album going by the name Thunderbitch (love that name!):

weddingparade · September 2015

+1 i didn't think they were copying anything/anybody
