Just bought Apollo 18, and I must say it kicks a lot of ***. An amazing band that I've liked, but never really gotten into, since I was maybe 10 years old. I've recently been obsessed with them.

Just discuss the band here. Anyone know if they're going on tour soon or have a new record planned for the near future?

Lincoln is easily their best album. Aside from "Ana-Ng" it doesn't really have any big singles but every song flows together so well.

John Henry is also worth a listen, a lot of TMBG fans tend to neglect that album but I think it's great.

Yeah, they are a cool little band, I remember hearing lots of good things about then and then FINALLY managed to borrow Apollo 18 from the library. I give them two thumbs up with a sleazy grin.

Wrong.

But Lincoln is one of my top favorite albums of all time. One of those albums that I grew up loving and can still enjoy just as much. Ana Ng is one of my favorite album starters.

They've got so much good stuff. "No!" not being an example. Two years ago or so my brother and some friends went to see them perform at a bookstore, and definitely went without me :angry:
