best newish punkish band around

Are they from NJ? I think I saw a newspaper article on them today.

way too much hype about this band in my opinion...and i think there are some questionable issues about them...anyway, i agree the music is good...live shows have been so-so....mentioning them in the same sentence with jawbreaker is a bad thing anyway...

Man, I posted about this band AGES ago and everyone ignored me! I bought "Sink or Swim" last December and since then I've got all their stuff. They're awesome!

Didn't these guys do some opening shows for SD in the past...?

I think that they did some HOB shows with Social Distortion last Winter or the year before.... I'm about to go see them guys tonight here in San Antonio....

fucking brilliant band.

Great live show too by the way...

I picked up their latest album and it's really good. Pretty good chance I'll get their other album too.

Definitely pick up their older album (Sink or Swim). Also they did a 4-song EP (Senor and the Queen) which is great and they have a very old mini-album called "Every Little Secret" (from when they were still called "This Charming Man") which contains some of their best work. I would recommend everything they've released so far.

they blend pretty much everything i love about music. great band! [img]smile.gif[/img]
