What does everyone think of this band? Has anyone here even heard of them? I don't expect that they play the kind of music (genre-wise) that many people on this forum are into, but I urge ALL of you to check them out.

To me, they're like the musical embodiment of love, hope, joy, and all the other emotions that make us feel wonderful. I don't know if any band has ever managed to move me so resolutely before.

'The Lost Riots' was such a fantastic debut, I didn't think they could possibly match up to it, but 'Left' is just as glorious. I haven't ben able to stop playing it since I got it.

What does everyone else think? If anything :p

Well, I'm going to ignore the immense and unnecessary mocking of me, and focus on the majority of that answer which made perfect sense.

I DO appreciate that you listen to an enormous amount of music, which is why I understood how you might have missed what was special about this band in the first place. I don't imagine you had an awful lot of time to listen to it, and on first listen reacted with 'they're alright', just like I did.

All I meant was that they're a band that takes a little time, and I could see how you could have dismissed them.

No need to be so defensive man, I was just making a friendly sugestion. I just wanted to share a band that brings me more joy than any other :)
