"Probably my favorite new band this ye..." more

"These guys don't do anything new per ..." more

"These guys don't do anything new per se, but they've nailed this particular sound and don't come off as pretenders like The Killer's did with 'Sam's Town.' Try them if you like the Hold Steady, Springsteen, The Replacements, Jack Kerouac." less
