Awesome chorus.
The band didn't release their first album until 2004, however they run with that ‘90s rock sound -- not too far off from the rooftop duet in Empire Records -- but with other more classic influences like The Band.
The lyrics involve a lot of storytelling; one band member cited The Mountain Goats, who we just reviewed, as an influence.
They have a surprising number of song placements in other media: you can hear The Hold Steady while playing the video games Tony Hawk's Project 8 and MLB 2K8 as well as NBC’s Friday Night Lights.
Here is their tour schedule as well as a tribute to the late, great Les Paul, both from their website.
