Caught these guys last night at a local club (budda was there too) and I was very impressed. I hadn't heard of them before yesterday, but checked out their myspace page and was immediately hooked. After a bit of research, I found that Devin Townsend produced their album, and while it's a completely different sound for him, his genius pays off again.

The music is heavy, but dynamic, lots of soft sections building into big epic sections. Lots of vocal harmonies (which they pulled off live very well). Some excellent guitar tones live too.

This won't be for everyone, but I think some people here will love this stuff.

(listening to the album start to finish, when it rolls around to this it's awesome)

That was quite cool, not 100% sold on the vocals but they're hardly off-putting, good stuff. :yesway:

 

[budda]

They had very good energy live :yesway:. I think I checked them out as they were playing with someone else this past winter, didn't make it to the show though. Might have been a different band though.

I enjoyed it :yesway:

The lead singer is also the singer for Comeback Kid, and the drummer is his brother :yesway:

WHAT? WAIT WHAT?! I just saw Goose and didn't know I was seeing Goose?! :rant: damn. No wonder I loved his screaming :lol:

edit: I think they also had a set-long sample doing the piano/keys stuff, no?

Yeah, they had a backing track filling in piano/synth/samples. I saw him going over between songs to start the next one.

:wallbash: definitely would have talked to him more than "good set!" if I had known who I was seeing beforehand :lol:

A couple more favourite tracks added to the first post.

Man, after a few start-to-finish listens, this album has grown on me even more :lol:

It kind of hits you slowly, but in a big way. Quite possibly my favourite Devin Townsend production (not favourite DT album, but the mix and production is just incredible).

I plan on buying this soon :yesway:

 

[Tom]

Not bad.
