Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. : Nothing But

Original
is on their debut full length, It’s A Corporate World.
-
Their
2010 debut EP garnered them a lot of good reviews.

They
have just overtaken the Hold Steady and Titus Andronicus as my favorite live
band. This is the live recording that is the closest to their smile-inducing
energy.

This track feels like a Heaven Is Whenever leftover.
That's not a bad thing, but just carry the same swagger as their older stuff.

2012.
-
This is one of the best bands we are lucky enough to
enjoy in their prime.

Wildly
eclectic, spacey, experimental folk rock.
