Wonder Years and All the Same are the standouts for me. the doo-doo-doo parts on Wonder Years are so jangly-80s-college rock.

they were pretty good a couple weeks ago at the astoria beer garden. they did a fun felt cover and the last track from days, all the same, sounded better than the record, really driving and danceable

I would have liked to go to that. used to live in Astoria and always wondered why the beer garden never had bands.

yeah i think green aisles is my favorite track on the albumthe beer garden show was fun, they're a good band to have play in sunshine.

If anything, this is indie-rock comfort food, but so what? Pretty, almost too pretty. A fuck of a lot of bands mine a similar sound (neo-college rock?). So few get it right and make it sing that it's no wonder these guys are getting serious press.

"It's Real" is a great track but I haven't really been able to get into the album.

i don't mind these guys but every single one of their songs sounds like "no rain" by blind melon with more boring vocals

they sound almost exactly like McCarthy without the politics. which rules.they really frontloaded that second album though. the whole thing is great but the first 3 or 4 tracks just kill.

One of the only modern records that I can't seem to get burnt out on, and I imagine it'll age really well.

I always semi-liked these guys but I am fully on board now after I've been listening to "Days" a ton since it came out. it's a great album and they were great live this past Saturday. covered the Clean! (Anything Could Happen)
also I never realized Alex Bleeker sings the lead vocal on Wonder Years

The little guitar hook has a Destroyer vibe to it.
