Amazing band.


The whole Kezia album tells a really good short story and puts personal thoughts into 3 different characters. Quite Unique.

Blindfolds Aside is the Prison Guard talking about how he is about to execute Kezia and having second thoughts on doing it or not.


I love all their music. Rody Walker has an amazing vocal range.

Are you shitting me? Almost everyone in my school knows who they are.

Just because it isn't mainstream doesn't make it good.

I used to be like you, listening to music that wasn't "mainstream", critizising people who listened to any band that happened to be popular. Do you call yourself a "non-conformist", by chance?

Then I realized that it is much better to listen to music simply because it is good.

I'll agree that most popular music is shit, though. Music popularity goes in a continous cycle where only music played on the radio is popular, and music is only popular because it is played on the radio.

However, if ALL popular music were bad, then it would follow that if a song becomes popular, it is automatically bad.



Just let go of trying to be "outside of the norm" or whatever you consider yourself to be, because trying to be different is making you exactly the same as everyone else who tries to be different. It's a paradox.

Just like whatever the **** you like, and don't give a shit about what other people have to say about it.

Actually, I really love this band.

But I've gotten out of the whole "This song is cool because i hear it on the radio." phase.

I like to listen to bands for a lot more of talent then who they are, what they look like, or if they are on tv or not.


I honestly can't stand most rap that i've hear these days. They are all about surreal lives, and nothing entertaining at all. Hip Hop stuff such as Atmosphere though is great because he actually speaks about some real stuff and not just ****ing rims on his car and shit.

Anywho. I'm still loving this band.


Along with He is Legend.

That kind of contradicts why you said you like them earlier.

And what does rap music have to do with anything? No one said anything about it.
