Akron/Family
 

I love this band. Running, Returning is their best song IMO. And Before and again is my second. And myspace just happens to have both.

Ill even add the lyrics for ya to inspire you to click the link. I could get lost in this song all day, especially loaded ;)

Running, Returning.

Sooner, or later
Everyone will know
Within the shadows
In there light will grow
And love is on its way
It's more than I can see

Running, returning
On and on it goes
To a place
Where love begins to grow
And I am away
To where I've always been

Come walk with me in the morning light
Call the curious sun
And before I, inside heaven in our hands
And when the cold wind blows
We'll wake up on the other side
Where the sunlight sounds like moonlight in our ears

And even underground
They'll hear
Songs of our soul
Song without tears

I can relate. I have one of their albums but it has never clicked with me.

I like some of their stuff and hate some of their stuff. They aren't very consistent in their sound.

not very good.

Love this band, in particular the s/t and Set Em Wild Set Em Free, one minute they can be beautifully delicate and melodic, the next they slam into a jam freak out. Not very consistent in their sound? Do you want all their songs to sound the same? I love the variation.

I love these guys. I've been playing the hell out of their latest album. I've been meaning to check out some of their earlier stuff but I've been lazy.

I wasn't ever able to get into them... I'd ask about older releases (I've only heard the new one) but like you mentioned Stu, it's so varied I can't imagine I'd like any of their output. Definitely a top notch band, just doesn't do it for me.

Thats cool you guys have heard of them and checked em out. Im still pumped on them too.

Seriously, the variation in sound is a treat, it means you never get bored because of the unpredictability of their output, every new song is a surprise. I strongly suggest you check out the s/t before casting them off

I watched the worlds greatest dad last week.... It had a song on it I had to look them up.



I really like this song... I got the cd but it has yet to grow on me, I am trying to get into indie music, but it just hasnt clicked yet. Hopefully it will. But This song has really grew on me. I added it to alot of slow playlists.

Worlds Greatest dad was a good movie btw I suggest anyone to check it out.

Their record LOVE IS SIMPLE is an amazing double record. It's one of those I only like to play when I can play it all the way through, so as to give all parts equal time. But I end up listening in bits anyway when I show it to other people...

Their first record s/t only grabs me in places. And "Set 'Em Wild" is best when played on the wrong speed (I have the LP, and it's oddly enough a 45 rpm, but it took me half of a side, granted with accompanying bong rips, to realize it wasn't a 33.33 and even now I think I like it better that way) ... Live they are way better than your average band if you like spontaneity better than you like plastic

... all of which is of course only my own opinion reflecting my own experience (and maybe that of certain friends)

Love is Simple is actually pretty good. Ive given it a few listens. Ill write more after a few more goes.
