No need to treat me like a spammer. Just trying to see what everyone thought of the band. That's all.

OK. My apologies. I'm just so use to all these street teams posting messages EVERYWHERE. I mistook you for one. I'm sorry. I'll check them out when I get home.

If people are actually paid to post shit like that, boy does that strike me as a waste of money.

The Smiths or bust

I gotta agree with this. It's still a pretty kick ass band though.

If you go to the band's official site, there is this sphere thing that you can click on and the song is called, "What a mess I've made of my life," or something like that. I took it as homage to the song, "You've got everything now" from The Smiths. He talks about dying and stuff, sounds like the Smiths to me . Another thing that is similar to the Smiths, Morrissey more specificaly, is that they aren't signed.

Thanks for the feedback everybody. For anyone who is interested, I know that they play in NJ and NYC but I'm not sure when their next show is as it doesn't say on their website. I put the website below so that you can check for when their next show is if you want to.
