I had meant to post about this band a while back. I saw them by accident at SXSW and they were probably one of the best acts that I saw. They only have a couple of EP's out so far, but their latest is VERY good and they are working on a full length LP.

I compare them to Modest Mouse, only because the singer has some hints of Isaac Brock in his voice sometimes, but I'd say their overall sound is closer to something like Titus Andronicus. Those may not be the best comparisons...oh well. There are lots of awesome guitar solos (sound really good live too).

Anyway, here are a few songs that I hope some of you will enjoy:

Fight

Cheetah

Swallow

Well SUB, I just happen to be a fan of both Modest Mouse and Titus Andronicus. So this could work out very well for me.

Listening to their latest EP now.

I like it but I think it's more like the hives than modest mouse.

Listened to the first two and really liked it but it sounds much more like Queens if the Stone Age than Modest Mouse.

I was actually very close to saying that they seem like they could have some QOTSA / EODM influence! Good catch.
