This is a rock band I chanced upon when listening to IndieFeed. I liked their song "Sackcloth in Ashes", but their other stuff seem a bit too busy. Anyway hope you guys take a listen and share what you think!

Actually I liked them. I don't know why but I'm starting to get into a lot of indie bands. I guess I'm getting kinda bored with a lot of the mainstream bands.

Whoa that was weird! I saw their main pic and thought "wow that font looks a lot like the font the use on all the fliers around here!" Then I looked at the location, and its a local band! So weird. I dig them, I'll have to keep a lookout for them in the future.

It was a catchphrase back in the second world war... if you happened to mention the location of a battle ship at an innapropriate moment (such as when a German spy was listening) then there was a good chance that ship would be sunk. The phrase "loose lips" refers to people who talk too much.

Haha for some reason I thought 'loose lips' refers to kissing.

Ya know man, it seems like either you've met them or you dont know what your talking about. and i have met them, and i dont think that that is what they were thinking.

lol I know what they meant i thought it was a clever adaption of the old phrase into anew band name :confused:

sersiourly i think they were thinking of the old adage, and then changed it to something that is more literal and will appeal to todays youth much better
