Although everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion, to dismiss the band as "lame" does you more of a disservice than it does the band. There are moments in some of their songs that are just magical. It's beautiful, moving music and I am glad I've been introduced to it. In fact, The Upwelling EP is definitely one of my top 10 records of all time. Oh, and they are the coolest bunch of guys you'll ever meet. To me, The Upwelling is a much needed breath of fresh air.

AJ said it beautifully above, esp "They create a vibe; live and breathe it." I am blown away more and more with each show I see.

Their songs are really good 2. They have a point of view 3. They are good live performers 4. They are entirely independent 5. They get along with press 6. They create a vibe; live and breathe it 7. They don't sound like everyone else 8. They are better than 99.9% of the demos we get here 9. They don't give a fuck what you or I think I don't think I really need more reasons than that to get behind a band. They didn't ask to be on KOAR, I asked them if I could put them on KOAR. I like diversity in the music we promote. They didn't pay us or pull a fast one. This selection was based entirely on their music, and I stand by it... even in the face of such laughably weak criticism. I chose this band for a number of reasons:

Stop being a HATER. If you dont like it, move on to something else. You now live in a world that can grant you millions of options and choices. If you dont like chocolate ice cream, dont complain about it, eat STRAWBERRY! Rock n Roll All the artists KOAR talks about DESERVE to be heard. Stop being a HATER.
