I've been pushing this band for a couple of years now, and they seem to be getting a bit of a "following."
I saw them perform earlier this week in Virginia, and they were great. Much better than when I saw them three years ago.
If you like The Decemberists (I don't, but still), Bright Eyes (i don't, but still), Iron & Wine, The Band, Uncle Tupelo, etc., you might like these guys. You can get like all of their stuff off eMusic and places like that.
They're from Austin, TX.
