Power pop! They're great both live and in the studio.

"They are an Atlanta-area band, but with a charismatic lead singer hailing from Devon, you'd be forgiven for mistaking them for 'genuine homegrown' Britpop.The band members are more than capable of playing their instruments: they all have good influences and genuine talent. It's sad that you have to make a point of saying so, but if you've heard the poo on the radio lately, then perhaps the heads up is appreciated. Again: yes, they can REALLY play."Without You" is just about the catchiest song I've heard all year."Gettaway" has been a live concert favourite and loses nothing in its transition to disk.It lives in my CD case and is especially appreciated on long car trips.Bottom line? It will make you happy. Buy it for yourself or for someone else you like a lot.Their first (also excellent) CD is nearly impossible to find these days and they are about to start pushing an upcoming third full-length CD. If you think you might want this one, better get it while you can."
