This is one of the bands on The List that I'm not cool enough to like.

They seem very hit & miss to me. I've heard a few songs that are really good, and some that do absolutely nothing for me.

I like this one (lead vocal is amazing, and the chord changes and arrangement are fresh IMO) but it was the only song on the LP I really liked, so it got traded pretty quick. On the positive side, they have like 20 albums, and main dude is a schoolteacher in Dayton Ohio. On the negative side, they seem a little dated ("indie rock") and they write anthemic rock music without any kind of message (is that "post-ironic" or something?)

(Warning: Pop music)
