Corkus Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 It's funny; I just heard these guys for the first time today! :stunned: I think the song you posted was decent and the song I heard on the radio (don't remember what it was called) was okay. I don't see myself getting into these guys, but they aren't bad. EDIT: Upon closer listen, the song you posted WAS the song I heard on the radio today.
