make sure it's raining outside (shouldn't be too hard) and you'll be all set!

You'll have to check their facebook page for upcoming events. I'm in the US so unless they blow up and start doing big tours, then I'll probably never see them.

I can't imagine this album doesn't propel them into some sort of recognition

It's crazy how many legitimately talented bands never get noticed. I hope these guys get recognition. They're like a punker and more country version of Neutral Milk Hotel. Or something. I don't even know. They just rule.

Damn they don’t even have a single song on Spotify with 1,000 plays yet. Pretty obscure find here

Vocals grew on me. Also they're much more grating on the debut, so if you hate them here, I wouldn't bother looking at that album haha.
