This album rules, and i should know, since i'm in the band. I play guitar.

The singing is really good, but the guitar playing is really awesome. It sounds so sweet. Every note is correct! Here is a quote from my 'zine:
"If one is supposed to treat a guitar like a gorgeous woman, than listening to High Strangess is to hear Dave Rich ravage that woman's body again and again."

Buy this record!

a great (greatest) (current) band from akron ohio, seen 'em live in cleveland & surrounding areas countless times, finally they have a "real" disc out! and recorded and whatever else by Pat Carney from the other famous akron rock group the Black Keys! if thats not enough hype, just listen to the disc and all other questions will be answered. think early REM, the Feelies, the Smiths (but faster and less andro), GBV, etc so on and so forth. yet not like any of those bands either. can't recommend this enough. i still rock my cdrs i bought from the band in the past coupla years, but these are more "polished" "tighter" versions, and some n00bs too. get this while you can. don't be the last on your block to "discover" what "the heart of it all" is up to, duh!

The band that rocked the Lock 3 2006 Akron Auto Show finally has released their debut CD. Fully equipt with a corny review in the Beacon Journal, "High Strangeness" is sure to be the "Soundtrack of the Fall... AND WINTER!" I would suggest buying multiple copies so you have a few to sell on E-Bay when they go out of print, but you know Pat Carney's cheap little self would just re-release the thing to help fill up the gas tank on his VW hatchback Jetta and fuel his anime obsession.

one of the year's best hidden gems! glorious indie pop/rock in the vein of Maximo Park, The Shins, and The Smiths! very well-written with tightly structured, highly listenable, and catchy tracks! WHY IS THIS SO OBSCURE? this is the record that pitchfork would cream about and praise as "the next big thing". but alas, f-ck pitchfork anyway. but i disgress--this is a great album nonetheless. it really deserves to be popular and if a few people heard it, it would be (i think this band needs a new manager, because they should be blowin' up already).

again, sooo catchy and soooo well-written with great crooning, Morrisey-like vocals, great jangly guitars, super-tight rhythms, sweet and smooth drums, and ultra-groovin basslines.

FIND IT!!!
