These guys are my favorite band. They are even amazing live, which not many bands are. They have sick music, and it means something. They are so grounded in what they believe in, and thats really refreshing for a world thats so messed up right now. You guys are freaking awesome! I just saw you in Winnipeg on the 5th, it was sick!
