Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
So they're not actually from Milwaukee but coming from Austin, TX you get the feeling these guys can certainly appreciate a good 12-pack of beer (the quartet actually named itself after a line in a Jerry Lee Lewis song). Freshly signed to Barsuk, the indie home to the likes of John Vanderslice and Nada Surf, the best this quartet can muster is to reissue its two-year-old debut, Trying Never To Catch Up. Not that anyone would complain--the album has ideas to spare, veering from scrappy noise rock ("Selling Yourself Short") and blurry power pop ("Hellodrama") to a couple of Jeff Buckley-inspired flights and something called "Bldg. a Boat From the Boards in Your Eye," a psychedelic romp that is either meant to pay tribute or torment fellow Texans, the Polyphonic Spree. Through it all, the group affirms that it's never too shy to hit on a solid melody. --Aidin Vaziri

Product Description
This Austin band defies convention by combining an uncommonly gorgeous pop sensibility with a finely-honed post-punk attack. Look for them at both the Lollapalooza and the Austin City Limits festivals this summer and fall, along with a national tour in September supporting The Long Winters.
