druggie electrician talking my ear off (and I gave him and his roommate my number—that woke me up a few times last night in disgust/terror) so couldn’t listen properly, but really liked them, lush, full, keyboard, many members, druggie kept comparing them to Joy Division

typical 00s band, indie and pop-punk mix, they were good for the genre, kind of like their name too, lots of jumping, but that stupid boy-whine voice

a solo guy on banjo, fiddle, a strange mini piano, had the sweet pleading croon of old-timers, OverachieverTeacher’s roommate/bartender classified him as Americana, r/b and I did not click or rather r/b did not click with me
