saw them play a couple months ago in a small club show and they played 4-5 new songs and they all sounded really great.

This was just pretty good but I'm optimistic. Didn't know about Richard Swift joining, that's exciting.

I'm more intrigued about this Little Cuts band that's supposed to be more like Scared of Chaka.

I changed this on XM radio yesterday before I heard it. Figured it was off their 3rd disc that I never bothered to listen to. Didn't realize it was new.

sounds like a bad rehash of Red Rabbits samey chords but uncatchier,
it was played on national radio yesterday afternoon and became more boring
the longer it went on. Sounds like they are running out of fresh ideas.
