I really like this. Came out in 08' and re-released in 09'. He's also in the War on Drugs I think. Cotton probably knows more about him. Indiepassion still has live links.

yea its good.

i did delete the Overnite KV EP though and the most recent release God is Saying this to You is good but not as good as Constant Hitmaker.

He's in Philly, but I could've sworn he was actually based in Delaware.

Anyway, he's in The War on Drugs and (swell guy and all-around Philly music dude) Brian McTear produced Constant Hitmaker (not sure about the new one).

I feel like his songs can go all over the place, which is one of the things I like about him. Some of it I love, some of it I skip.

Yeah, there's a lot I skip too. But there are some real gems on there.

if you guys like this, you may like a band named Nerve City, based out of Richmond. The main guy is moving soon, but hopefully he's trying to play a show in the next few weeks before he moves.

"Bars" is my favorite out of all of the songs he has listed.

Had heard of him previously, but never heard him, until he opened for SY in Philly. Much better than The Entrance Band.

Really dug him. I have a few albums bookmarked on emusic for dl.

I like Childish Prodigy. And my guy Michael Johnson in Ape School speaks very high of him, and has worked extensively with him in the past, including on this record.
