Ya man, read through the thread, I've got everything they've released and Thickfreakness is my favorite. And I get that they play blues inspired rock music... so which forum would you put them in? Can't put them in the blues forum because they have too many rock elements. "Rock and metal"? Meh, I think they're right where they should be--an alternative rock band inspired by the blues...
