Too many large threads come up with that word.
This is a pretty cool band that reminds me a lot of some of the E6 stuff from about 10-15 years ago.

Great analog synths. (More Moog = More Good)

I like it!

didnt someone here have this real vicious hatred toward them/one of the members? like, he was always ready to throw down if the situation presented itself?

One of my brother's favorite bands. He interviewed one or two of their former members at an Islands show a couple years ago.

I know that Stu is a BIG fan. He especially loved it when they turned into a rap outfit known as Tha Corn Gang.

That was both me and jsh.

And TOGG, you're about 6 years late on this flash-in-the-pan group, who have since devolved into Islands.

They were good. The irrational hatred was just that, irrational.

When I look back at "flashes in the pan" from the past decade, this was one of the brighter ones.

I actually think that the Unicorns weren't that bad. Obner likes a lot worse.
