Hey, Bostonians! Why have you been keeping this band a secret from the rest of us? Am totally diggin' on their sound, plus they get my vote for coolest album cover!

Check out some of their tunes here

Ha, they asked us to play their record release show next month*. They're not really my thing, but I think they're doing what they do well enough. For fans of FranzF, Interpol, Bravery, etc.

* which we are. TT's on 11/4.

Very nice, Kevin!

These guys have been friends of mine for years, I was actually planning on posting a song sometime soon to see what people thought. I've heard a bunch of their album, and I'm digging it.

I really like the few songs I've heard.

I was just listening to "God is gonna get sick of me" and it's probably my favorite song by any of the bands KPH listed above.

These are fantastic.

Agree with cotton, god is gonna get sick of me is a sweet tune.

that's not even the best song on the album...
for my money i like sixty lives and in combat better.
if anyone's curious, pm me

I haven't heard them.

Apparently, they just signed with Columbia.

Is this the band that used to be called, "Aberdeen" and sounded pretty much like Radiohead?

Not sure about the name, but the Radiohead thing is pretty accurate.

this article isn't entirely true, they have not yet signed with colombia.
perhaps they will, perhaps they wont.

yes, they used to go by aberdeen (until the other aberdeen threatened to sue them),
and they are definitely influenced by radiohead, although they don't sound like them quite so much anymore

Opening for Go! Team tonight in Boston...looks like it is worth showing up early

Do it.

They blew my mind when I saw them 2 weeks ago.

I bought the album awhile ago but still haven't listened to it.

Just found out that these guys are opening for Langhorne slim and murder by death next month here, but this thread reveals surprisingly little about the band. not a ysi in sight, even.

Definitely one of my favorite bands to go drinking with.

i don't like any of the RIYLs, so i don't know what i was thinking. I'll be at the bar. Thanks.

you should go if only to see langhorne slim. i had a great time during his show.

oh i'm definitely going, but my friend owns a bar next door to the venue and i'll probably hang out there during Aberdeen.

did you punch that dude last night or what? did you at least punch travis morrison?

no, ended up going to a shit bar and walking home. all in all a failure of a night.

still sounds better than my night.
