They set &#8220;themselves apart in the Nashville music scene with nonstop, high energy live shows.&#8221; As can be discerned from the intro, this is the opening track for their new release <em>The Second Longest Driveway in Indiana</em>. These guys are very emo &#8211; although one gets the sense that they wouldn&#8217;t appreciate being labeled that way. Some lines can definitely be drawn between these guys and old heads like Cap&#8217;n Jazz and Rites of Spring, but they practice a more explicitly mathy, indie-influenced take on the genre reminiscent of Michael Cera Palin, Castevet or Modern Baseball. The band really brings a lot of energy to the table on top of their charming, homey light Upland South twang. This is an a great track from a band with purpose.
