The frontwoman is way cool. The drummer is amazing too!

Hooky. I like them. Reminds me a little bit of early spiderbait in some parts.

Also I'm always a sucker for a spunky frontwoman (she sure knows her way around a strat too it seems).

Thanks for posting, gonna check out more.

We saw them at The Paradise in Boston a couple of months ago and were really impressed... great group!

Yeah, I sort of missed the boat on these guys as I guess they got really big last year, but I'm glad I found them. They know how to write a song with a hook and that rock out at the end is cool. I like when the singer kicks the bass drum! The drummer reminds me of the dude from Hum a little.

Not my bag, but my favorite part: The drummer's huge @$$ cymbals!

Nice crescendo; took us from proper indie out to noisy bombast. I'd bet they're great live.
guitar > boost/fuzz > trem > echo > amp
better judged by 12 than lowered by 6
