Went to see em in London last night. Great live performers, but there's some really ropey songwriting in there.

Not so much. There was no enthusiasm for 'em over in Rolling Country 2010.

I saw them at a festival this summer, and while I wouldn't go out of my way to see them again or listen to them on my own time, for that hour I liked them just fine. Really good singers and performers.

heard the i and love and you album in a record store a few weeks ago. thought it was pretty good for what it was. catchy tunes, energetic delivery and a distinctive sound. kinda surprised there aren't more defenders hereabouts. on the other hand, i didn't like their music enough to buy the record or even steal it from internet piracy sites which i have heard about. or, probably, ever listen to it again.

I don't know much about them, but "Murder In The City" is excellent

If only their seemingly perpetually regenerating follicles could make biomass diesel... .. .
While their last album was littered with throw-aways-a-plenty, I cannot argue anything that might question the integrity of these guys. If a listening of "Sixteen (16) in July" or "Pretend Love" or "When I Drink" doesn't abide their altruism, nothing can.
These guys deserve your witness; true Troubadours.
P.S. fuck those that compare "Avett's" with Mumford & Sons; ...don't know shit!

threads where the OP sounds like it was probably written by a pr agent for the band

i didn't realize this band had been around for that long. yeah that first post has to be PR.
