"One of the best bands, you probably never heard of until now! The Figgs hail from Saratoga, New York with their 3rd album off the Hearbox label (5th album overall). Their sound can best be described as catchy power-pop punk. Some off my favorite songs off this album are: "Back to Being", "Sit and Shake", and "Lose the Pain". The songs: "Static", "Metal Detector", and "The Trench" are sure to be hits! This CD is a must!"

Probably the worst Figgs CD but not terrible; get their new

"I love everything these guys do and it's sad that inferior bands like Coldplay, Radiohead, and just about everyone else are making millions while these guys play to a cult. This CD is probably their weakest production and songwriting wise, and when I first heard it, I thought it was the end of the road.



Fortunately, they rebounded with the double album Palais which is their best record ever.



After you get Palais, go on their website and get Continue To Enjoy The Figgs, Vol 1, which is a live record recorded in guitarist Mike Gent's basement and has lively versions of several songs off of the last few records played in front of true fans. Enjoy!"
