First, I'm a bit biased as my son is the drummer! But! I have watched these boys from the very beginning, and listened to them manifest in my basement as they became a band. And I have to say, and I'm not making this up, people have said from the very beginning that they, "are really good!" Not just their peers, but adults/friends of mine as well, and you can tell when people are "just being nice" and when they are truly impressed. Consistently, I would tell my friends about "my son's band" and they would be like, "Oh, uh huh... yeah,that's great." Then they would actually see them live and always give me THAT LOOK, and say, "Wow.. they ARE really good. No, I'm serious. I'm amazed." And so, I have gone from being one of 20 people in the audience(half parents/family), and thinking, "are these kids amazing, or is it just b/c I'm a dad?", to being 1 of 1500 people in the audience (only about 20 family and friends)and saying, "Yeah... these kids are amazing!!" So let's see... Will the buzz continue? Regardless, I see them every show I can b/c they ARE A FUN BAND!!
