Watch the events unfold as they blow up this year...
There's so much buzz around this band. I don't see them every getting played on the radio here, but I see them being a huge act anyway.
I'm loving "A Punk" right now. And MTV actually plays the video!

Their album cover looks like it was taken at a Skins party!

Seriously though, I really like Oxford Comma, and the new single. I'm very interested in hearing the album...
The album is out tomorrow in the UK - I might be tempted to impulse buy if I see it cheap. ;D

I kinda outplayed the album already, but I'll be picking it up when it comes out here. It's just really fun music.

Well I bought it...
Am listening now to Track 2, or as it's otherwise known "Oxford Comma".

Well pretty much, from reading through the lyrics- it's criticising grammar snobs, but the weirdest part must surely be the ending where he sings "Lil Jon, he always tells the truth". What is THAT about!? Oh, A- Punk is on. Love this one!

I want to like them but their songs feel like they're missing something.

I'm addicted to "Campus" right now. It's my favorite song on the album, hands down.
