***The album is posted now. Check my latest post in this thread***

So this young local band just got the BIG UP from Pitchfork today.

Good thing is, they don't suck. Have a listen. No, listen, don't go read the Pitchfork review, yet.

See, good, right? Great guitar sound, cute harmonies, zero originality, but who gives a fuck, the song is ace.

That song makes me think back to how good that first Weezer album was. It also reminds me of Longwave. Wonder what happened to those guys? Anyway nice track

The skinny kid on the right looks like he's about 12.

Good tune.

Thanks for the heads-up.

They have went down hill over the years as the price has steadily increased.
They basically just give you terribly bad breath due to the onions and cabbage and inevitably you'll have a greasy stool due to it.
I still enjoy the Cheese Runza now and again, and it is nice to have them at local sporting events.

There is 0.0% wrong with that song. Not rocket science, by any stretch, but shit it's catchy. Just enough dirt to keep from smelling all plasticy.

It definitely doesn't sound like current Weezer. That's why it's pretty good.
