This band holds such a dear place in my heart. They’re one of the few bands that sound good in whatever mood I’m in, and have yet to release a bad album. Some are better than other’s but all are quality. They deserve more credit. Given I wasn’t close to any of their gig locations I’ll totally get this DVD when it comes out.
