The first time I heard this band was opening for I the Mighty on Connectour.
Their sound is great, but what I really fell in love with was the way Keaton walked out into the crowd, placing his hand on peoples shoulders and singing to them individually. And the way Kenny reminded me of a cartoon with his over exaggerated but super adorable facial expressions.
I went online and checked them out the instant I got home. Already head over heels before even clicking play but every track on the album Nerve Endings is fabulous! My favorite is "The Deep End"
How does it make me feel? sunshine and summer, but also stick it to them. I listen to this album when I need a good pick me up. But it also helps to work out rage.
Album's strengths: it flows perfectly
Pretty Little Thing: This track has a super poppy hook that warms my soul. Even though the lyrics are about a toxic relationship, it's upbeat. It doesn't feel contradictory, though. It feels like "Hey, I realize that you're bad for me, and I'm fine with being without you. Good-bye!"
Perfect World: I feel like they placed this song so well. Because sometimes, even if you realize that a relationship isn't right for you, later on a sadness sets in. And even if you don't really want that person back, you want them to want you back. So, I feel like it coming directly after Pretty Little Thing, which is pretty much an "adios, you're crazy" track, is perfect placement.
The Deep End: Hands down my favorite track on this album. The magnitude of the feelings it creates for me are unreal.
Until I Collapse: This song was the perfect ending to the album, and to hear them perform it live is something magical. It feels like the end. Like breathlessness after something strenuous.
This band reminds me of The Wedding in their style, sound, enthusiasm, and stage presence.
