I think they kinda suck. It's a talented group of guys with Todd Snyder, Dave Schools, Derek Trucks little brother on drums and some other established folks. But the music is pretty crappy and boring to me. It doesn't really flow. I like Todd Snyder as the stoner folk singer guy with the guitar and stories. Lead singer of a rock band not so much. My theory is they are bombed on heroin and just travel around zonked out making dumb music. But what do I know..

I agree. I like all those musicians a lot and have tried to listen to them many times but can never get into them. I find it very boring music as well

I saw them at lockn and it was pretty good for a daytime set at a festival - nothing i would go crazy making and effort to see, but not bad.

Only made it halfway through one of their albums.

Wanted to like them, but just didn't. Wouldn't say it sucked, I just found it boring.

I also have tried to like them and I think Todd Snider is really talented, but they just don't work for me. Also love me some Schools.

I don't think those guys are on heroin and could sustain such a long and arduous touring career as they all have.

Friend of a friend gave Todd some mushrooms before one of their shows last year. I think Todd takes hallucinogens on the reg, TBH.

It seems like Todd Snider would be cool to hang out with, but his solo stuff always seemed a little boring to me. Some of his stuff was alright. The HWA stuff I've heard was just Meh
