"i saw these guys a couple years back by accident. they were still mimic at that point, but were about to cross over to the ghosts. i got their album (the j's unite record) which was extremely promising if not out-dated as far as their live sound had by far outranked their old record.



but now they are back and better than ever. their new album as ghost of verona is as close as you can get to seeing them live (without actually seeing them).



anyone who likes drive like jehu, fugazi, built to spill, or even the conor oberst fronted desaparecidos should be excited to add this to their collection. i guarantee it will find its way to your car stereo and set root there for months.



best songs include (well just about every song qualifies as best) 'the summer of our discontent' (which is a classic), and 'a space catasterophy'.



so anyway don't hesitate, buy the album. not only will you be enjoying a great record, you'll be supporting a self produced penniless independent punk/metal band."
