- How have I not played this track before??? One of my all time favorite songs.
- Their last, 'All Eternals Deck' , was out in early 2011 and one of the best of the year.

- A dark chant-like track with an upbeat indie-pop center.
- The darker side of this song reminds me a ton of the dark and scary band Esben and the Witch.
The Features - Rambo - Wilderness (2011)

- This album seems a but more edgier and harder than their previous work.
- Debut out in 2004. 2nd out in 2009. Released two other EP's in there
- Kings of Leon fans can definitely find something here.
- 2nd full length.
- ‘A Thousand Eyes’ is a great track off their debut EP, out in 2008.
- Harsh, aggressively paced vintage sound, but that’s what they are going for and that’s what will draw you in.
- They sound like a more serious version of King Khan, not that King Khan’s immense talents aren’t serious.
Kay Kay And His Weathered Underground - Diggin' - Introducing Kay Kay And His Weathered Underground (2011)
- 2nd full length.
- Big variety of styles on this album. From beachy and mellow to the more eclectic sounds of Sgt. Pepper's Beatles.

The Hold Steady – Girls Like Status (Bonus track) – Boys & Girls In America
- 3rd album.
- ‘commercial breakout’ their real break out was the album preceding ‘Separation Sunday
