| Great group. Loved their first album (Smeared), which was kind of My Bloody Valentine meets the Beatles. Then they did the second (Twice Removed), which tried to be all Beatles all the time. I didn't like it as much.
Apparently, they broke up, then re-formed. I bought the new disc (From One Chord To Another)...very good. The band were finally mastering their influences, instead of vice versa. Kinda lo-fi production, but still pretty good.
I know they've released a few since then, one of which (Navy Blues) is supposed to be really good. But I find their sound kinda one-trick-ponyish, overall (as much as I like it) so I haven't bought any.
They are great live, though.
