A college-scene band that built a following with songs like 'Bang Bang' and 'The General'.
If you want to get the feel of them, put on 'The General' or 'Circles Around The Sun.' That's the sound they've always come back to.
They came out of Middlebury, Vermont in 1996 with a sound that felt like a campfire singalong turned into proper songs. 'The General' and 'Only The Wild Ones' from their 2002 debut became staples for a certain kind of listener, the kind who wanted folk rock with a little grit. Even after a health scare paused things in 2004, they kept writing tunes like 'Hey, Hey' that stayed true to that acoustic foundation.
They started playing around the local college scene in Vermont. After their 2002 debut, which included 'Bang Bang,' they kept recording and playing shows, though their output has been somewhat sporadic since.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
