They have 100% creative control and even have there own ticket distribution company, who is at the moment suing the shit out of Ticketbastard . They don't get allot of air-play or any BS on MTV, but they sell out most of the venues they have played in. Which is something allot of these "top acts" can't even do.

I really don't like there music, but they have my respect for what they have accomplished.

FAKE BRAIN!

These guys stopped in Minneapolis on tour while I was working sound at a club. They've done all their own recording with their own equipment (no rented studio time), and they even have a comic. And they got paid 25 bucks for the show I saw, which just about covered parking and gas.
