Hope they work on their lyrics, and put out more singles etc. The video for PDA is great, too bad nobody plays it. A.I.

Sounds pretty much on the money! When I saw them live they were opening for Clinic and I had never heard of them, but as they played, they reminded me of Joy Division. There's definitely some Bunnymen influences too... Happy Holidays everybunny! Red ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== Yahoo!

We met in the summer and walked 'til the fall And breathless we talked, it was tongues. De-spite what they'll say, it wasn't youth, we hit the truth. Faces of Strummer that fell from your wall And nothing was left where they hung So sweet and bitter, they're what we found So drink them down. Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there. Chill will wake you, high and dry You'll wonder why. Aztec Camera ''Walk Out To Winter''.
