A Boston quartet that turned youthful restlessness into melodic radio hits.
If you want their early energy, "The Great Escape" still works. For their pop moment, it's hard to beat "Two Is Better Than One."
They captured a specific moment in pop-rock where big choruses and earnest lyrics connected. "Two Is Better Than One" with Taylor Swift became a genuine crossover hit in 2009, but songs like "The Great Escape" had already defined their sound. They've kept writing guitar-driven songs across albums from 2006 to 2020.
They formed in Boston around 2005 and toured hard after their 2006 debut. The Taylor Swift duet in 2009 pushed them further into the mainstream. The lineup has stayed consistent through albums like Love Drunk and Beacon Light.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
