just wondering if anybody else here was a fan? They're getting pretty big at the moment I think and a great band, I love how the two vocalists work together

i think i posted them in a what u listening to thread a couple of times... i could have sworn i posted them somewhere here... anywho... i love them!!! I saw them open for Friendly Fires in Vancouver at the Commodore and it was ****ing awesome. i'm trying to get tickets to see them again at the Commodore because they have their own show this time!! I can't seem to get one though! But they are awesome!

thanks for the links mate listening now, and yeah Shelter is another great one, it's rare that I'll put on an album and listen all the way through without skipping anything, but theirs is one.

Been absent from the igloo for a while so didn't know what the musical trends of everyone were at the moment, but great to see another fan, would love to see them live myself

EDIT: also, the instrumental Intro song on the album is AMAZING, think that would have to be my favorite, got me the first time I heard it

I actually saw them on Carson Daly a couple months ago. (I think that was what it was..) I looked them up on Last.fm and told myself I would get some of the songs, but have yet to do it, think I will soon.
