do you realize how much music I listen to? I can't start a topic on every good band I like... that's what my radio station is for!! I assure you, they are very high in rotation right now - so you will hear them every three hours or so (no band plays more than every 3 hours on my station).
Uh.. as for genre of this - it's
pure Indie. I don't like the americana title they get as you wouldn't say that about Pixies or Pavement even though some of their songs are a bit americana/folky... not that any of these three sound much alike - I still say just pure indie...
I just got their first album and it's surprisingly ****... big let down
