Great songs. REALLY, really remind me of another Seattle based band, 
SilverJet, from about a decade ago. I could slip many of these songs 
alongside tracks from THE WHO SELL OUT or ALL MOD CONS and they'd be hand in 
glove.

I know Bruce is all over this one at NotLame, too - count me among those who 
see these guys as no-brainer Auditeer material. Must get my hands on this 
one.

cheers
