Holy crap! I didn't know they reunited! I loved them so much. Their friendship with Pearl Jam is how I found out about them in the early 2000s. Loved them since! Going to listen to that new album now!

Edit: I have since started listening to their new album and am loving it! I'm only half way through the first song, Price Tag, but I'm loooooving it! Thanks for the heads up!

Yay, someone here listens to them! :yay: I'm glad you found out about their new album now. At least something good came out from starting this thread. I like the new album too. I just haven't listened to it enough yet. What are your favourite albums or songs from them?

I'll have to give them a try, I've only heard good things about the new album :nod: :)

Yes, Dave, do check them out! :) And let us know what you think.

I don't know the names. I pay for Spotify Premium and just started the album and listened until it ended. I can tell you that there are no dull songs. It's a short album, but so awesome. They still have the sound that I fell in love with so many years ago!

I'd never heard of them before though, to be honest. :goof:

They're not super popular. In fact, there's not popular at all. I've only ever heard them on college radio stations. If it wasn't for the fact they toured with Pearl Jam, I would have never known of them. Believe me, they're worth discovering! Enjoy.

Matt, what are your fave albums/songs pre-NCTL?

Dave, now's the time to get to know them then! ;) Like check out the vids and the beginner's guide from the OP.

I've listened to the new album quite a bit now. Absolutely love it! Price Tag, No Cities to Love, Bury Our Friends, A New Wave, No Anthems, Fade, Hey Darling... um, basically all the songs :love: :D

I will at the weekend :nod:

Yay they are back with new music! :yay:

You like them too? Woop! :yay:

I've only listened to the new album once so far, but I enjoyed it :nod: :)

Awesome! If you want to listen more I'd suggest going with The Woods, One Beat and Dig Me Out albums. :)

I will at some point :nod: :)
