    ^^^^ James - nice. I almost put them too. Super underrated band IMO.

    Yeah man, always! Tom, their bass player, is my producer actually. Such a great band. Their third album, How Does Your Garden Grow?, is truly one of the most underrated albums of the last 20 years. It's the perfect blend of pop, electronica, with some amazing string arrangements thrown in. 

    Glad to to see some love for them.

    I was a big fan up through Closer (which I love), just never followed up on them after that for some reason. Got to see them at the 930 Club in DC and to this day it's still one of my all-time favorite shows.  They brought a lot of energy to the stage and it just felt like they were having a really good time up there.

    Closer is a perfect pop rock album. I think that album would get them back on mainstream radio...then their label went bankrupt before the second single (A Lifetime or Misunderstood) could be released. You should check out the album after that, Before the Robots. They re-recorded A Lifetime for it so it could be released. That whole album. The album after was pretty much a Kevin solo album. Some great songs on it. The last album, All Together Now, is probably my least favorite of their, but the 2/3 of the album that is solid runs into the other 1/3 that could be seen as misses. 
    They definitely bring it every night when playing live. I've never left one of their shows underwhelmed.
