Live they are great. You can watch Stainer turn from man into drum thumping tomato. Dude gets red.

I just purchased "Mirrored" on a whim today because I've been hearing so much about this band.


I'm really into this record. These guys are really good for the type of rock they play.

I like goofy shit though. I'll be getting drunk later tonight and listening to it again.

I way prefer the EPs but Mirrored certainly has a few great tracks. I just can't get on board with those vocals sadly. I like it when they don't retreat into the safety of the pop format too much, it's more interesting physically when they don't.

Yeah, the vocalist seems to hide behind excesive amounts of vocal effects whenever he does sing. It sounds kinda cool though.

I'll check out the EPs too.

No, as mentioned above, but he is the spawn of Anthony.

I love playing with Ty. His afro holds my picks (plectra) until I need them most.

Yeah, I set myself straight on this back in the '05. The internets gave me the fax. In the three years since that post, I have managed to lose much of the interest I had in this band and acquire much more of Anthony Braxton's output as opposed to his son's bands'.

That said, for the fifteen minutes or so that I spent watching them waiting for Harvey Milk to take to stage last week they did a good enough job of entertaining me.

The WF has increased.

The vocals get less annoying over time. They pissed me off when I heard a promo copy about a year ago; now I just feel embarrassed to play Atlas on my bike speakers.
