Anybody hear of these guys? My friend at work says he heard they sound like the Libertines meet the Jam.

Good comparison. Throw in a little Gang Of Four too. Actually they sound exactly like We Are Scientists. "Dancefloors" is a great track.

Recommended, the Jam was one of my first impressions as well, from what I've heard they are all under 20 years old and I was reading in Spin that their song was #1 on the UK Charts the first week, no major label or promotional push - no one had done that since the Spice Girls[:p] (Ha Ha)

I'm late to the party on these guys, but the CD is excellent. I just gave it a listen for the first time last night. Kinda remind me of The Strokes meet the Gang Of Four. Highly recommended!

I like the Arctic Monkeys, I have a friend who told me about them a couple of months ago, Fake Tales of SanFrancisco is an excellent song...and um..Hi I'm new.

First, late welcome to Michelle!

Second, is anybody catching them on this current tour? I didn't catch them in Austin - I got put off by some of the hype and decided to catch what turned out to be excellent other shows instead. At the same time, I don't want to jump on the "first to be uber-hip and diss the next big thing" bandwagon either. [;)] Although I'm awfully tempted to say I don't hear anything here except reworked Strokes/Franz chords. I'd like to hear from someone who's seen them. Upcoming NA shows...

Toronto - Tonight and Tomorrow!
Montreal - 3/22
Boston - 3/23
New York - 3/25
Philly - 3/26
DC - 3/27
Seattle - 3/29

I heard that the band was discovered by the former Vitamin Z singer Geoff Barradale and that he is the actual manager of the band.Is it true?

Those are good comparisons. These guys aren't bad.
