"I wish more people new about this band, because they are really great. Emily Haines is amazing...songs like Patriarch On A Vespa, Monster Hospital, and Live It Out are indy rock masterpieces."  Reply

"The plug awards put these kids in the punk category. Sure, i hear the attitude, but the instrumentation isn't confrontational enough and the vocal delivery lacks a rebellious snarl.
