I stumbled on these folks a few years ago, and they helped get me through my divorce. Seriously. Their blend of energy and angst fit my mood for a long time. Some of the lyrics may seem trite, but others grab me. I've seen them three times now, and each time was a blast. They clearly have fun playing live. Saw them last night, and though the show was entirely too short it was great. Crowd involvement, 3 guys playing on the single drumset, goofiness with song styles... Okay, here are a few videos. That means I had to pick favorites, and I love almost all of their songs. It's like asking me to pick a few favorite Dead songs- each one has its place, its special meaning.... Numb: Sometime Around Midnight:  First song I heard from them (actually saw, on a live concert show.) The mix of rock and classical, of pain and energy, had an immediate impact. Papillon:  More gut-wrenching when electric, but they have some nice acoustic videos. Does This Mean You're Moving On? I Don't Want To Be On TV I'm On Fire Goodbye Horses
