So, I listened to most of Sink or Swim. Very clean. Couldn't get a real grasp of the lyrics but I could tell that there was something actually being said, which is pretty critical, imo, especially in a punk (post-punk? I hate labels...)band.
I thought their singer sounded like the guy from Lucero, so I pulled up their wikipedia page to see if it was the same guy. Totally not him, but found this nugget at the very end of the page:
The Replacements and No Code as two major influences, huh? Now I'm going to really have to pay attention.
