First off, I wanted to, in a non-douchy way, say this: I’ve been into these guys for a while now. And it’s pretty awesome to see something like this happening; for them of course, but more selfishly validating my own musical styling.
Every now and again a band does it. They blow up, everywhere. From seemingly nowhere (just lots of underground fandom), to David Letterman and then to SxSW.
Go see them somewhere near you asap; and give their new album a listen on NPR, or get it when it comes out.
