well, i guess i saw them on their last show, but they were fantastic.

nicole atkins opened, which was a pleasant surprise, and she has an amazing voice, even better than on her recorded stuff, so that was cool and then the boys were just so into it, even the softer numbers were full of energy

anyway, their new album is really great and the show was awesome...i hope they can follow it up next year and really cement themselves as one of the top acts in the country, a la KOL...i think they have that potential

I heard one of their songs on outlaw country on xm. I liked it a lot.

I saw them a couple of weeks ago. Easily one of the most fun shows I've ever been to.

I've seen them twice (touring for Emotionalism and then the new one) and they were fantastic both times--two of my favorite shows in the past year.

I don't love the new album as much as Emotionalism but it's growing on me, somewhat.

I find it interesting that these guys are getting bigger now. They've been really popular in North Carolina for a while now. One of my best friends grew up in the same neighborhood that they were from and knows them pretty well, I'm going to see if he can get me tickets eventually.

Their new disc grew on me to the point of absolute love. I've listened the hell out of that thing, and I'm a total sucker for the title track. 'Kick Drum Heart' is also awesome.
