The Polyphonic Spree - Yes It's True

I know this band has a stigma but that's mostly because they are misunderstood. They are actually are very talented and it's crazy that they are still able to keep things going with such a large band.

The first time I saw this band was at Voodoo Fest '04. A classmate of mine at LSU had mentioned them so I thought I would check them out while I was there. They had a 1pm slot or something like that and it was HOT for late October / early November. Nevertheless they were all out their in their robes, sweating their asses off and playing to a constantly growing crowd. I was blown away at what I saw. 20-30 people on stage and every person was into it. They stole the show and The Killers who were playing next, could not follow an act like that. Since then, I've probably seen them 6 or 7 times (2 Xmas Shows in Dallas) and every time has been an awesome experience. If you ever get a chance to see these guys live, check them out.

Their new album, Yes It's True, comes out in a week. I was given an advanced copy and have given it many listens and can say it is on par with the quality of their previous work, which is awesome. So if you like their previous albums, make sure you check this one out and you will not be disappointed.
