Came up in a magazine I was reading recently.

Sorta sounds like Mars Volta + Electric Six + Queen - balls x Peaches. I expected better things but anyway...

this might sound weird

so i checked out the second song last night and found it to be really annoying....today i listened to all three but with out watching the videos....and found all three to actually be pretty good....i think the singer just irks me for some reason

but i actually like the music....at first your description made very little sense...esp the "-balls x peaches"...but i can see it now

I'm a big fan of mathing out band sounds. They just lack that big Queen guitar crunch, but they've got Peaches back beat.

They are from Austin and critics said such good things about them a few years ago - like they were gonna be the next homegrown heroes. I never liked them myself.

I like them. They represent the city very well: weird.

Sad Sad City is my favorite. Even my 4 & 6 year-old nephews love them. It's an Austin thing.
