Never heard this one before.  I like it - it makes me want to dance on a tabletop... {#Dancingbanana}

Isn't the lead singer of the band the same guy that fronts Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero's now?

Holy crap, my friend is the bass player for this band. What a pleasant surprise. For their heavier side, check out "Here Come the Bombs" to experience a nuclear powered freight train with no brakes.

I hear a bit of Gary Numan/Tubeway Army influence here. Shame it slides into pop oblivion though...

Not my favorite song -- or band -- but it does -- and they do -- always catch my attention when played. And not in a bad way, either. That's got to count for something.

Hahaha, you're serious? "metal/hiphop"? If you mean, they rhyme, then yeah they sure do, but I could point out a million artists who rhyme. I bet Bob Dylan's under Hip Hop too.

All sarcasm aside though, I can see how it's either a love it/hate it album, because the lead singer does have that voice that can come off as annoying. So does anybody sample cd's anymore before buying? Or do they shell out 12-16 dollars because 1 song was good? Incase you all weren't aware, www.bn.com (barnes and noble) has 30 second clips for every song on a giant selection of cd's.

Great band! I love their album, it all works very well together. I found them somewhat annoying at first when I heard Dynomite way back, but it grows on you, and then you're hooked.

I'm SOOO mad... one of my TOP 40 listening friends got last minute tickets to the MTV Campus Invasion Tour last week. They came to the little town I went to school in, but not here, though I would've driven the hour because IMA ROBOT was the opening act (I really could've cared less about Hoobastank and whoever else was there). Anyway, my friend told me about it and said he didn't really like them... too 80's for his taste... I guess there's no accounting for taste any more, huh...

I've had this darn song stuck in my head since RP played it 2 days ago. Just couldn't shake it.
I'll agree with the other comments that it does remind me of early eighties new wave, a la
Gary Numan, The Cars, Missing Persons et al., which is a good thing.

RP, Thanks for turning me on to yet another interesting new artist.

I'm Rick James, bitch.


Excellent band. As good in concert. I am seeingthem in LA MARch 15th again, they play often. If you can dig it up try and find the single to Song # 1, with the extra tracks STD Dance and Ages of Ruin, fan f'n tastic songs.

That said, this is a great freshman album by a band I hope to hear more of in the future. "Scream" also played here, is really terrific.


I agree. Music should be enjoyed. Sometimes comparing a tune to others is fun and sometimes it is destructive. The artist(s) puts out a great amount of energy to bring us their art. I would like to think that the majority of music is produced for the enjoyment of others. I for one would give a body part to have the talent to create music.

I'll go with the Missing Persons, changing the gender of the singer. About the only real similarity to Rush is the occasional jump to the stratosphere in the vocals, but even then, that's really a Missing Persons affectation or maybe Gary Numan up an octave, but not the way Geddy would do it.

I keep hearing the comment on RP and from other people, that this band is great, but nothing new. I agree, but as I recall, right before Nirvana "broke" all these retro-1960's bands were getting hot reviews and attention.

Cool tune, especially since it's relatively new. Nice 20-year throwback. (but still not as good as Rush)

Obviously spotting talent is not one of your strong suits, though this song is quite good.
