Hi everyone!
I figured this may be a good place to alert fans of good catchy music.
This band, called the Kicks (formerly Ashtray Babyhead).. think Weezer + Superdrag but more rock and less geek - have an amazing new album.
Now, the only reason I mention them is that I was blown away by this album. And the posting below of the fan community devoted to them is not shameless promo, but merely a place for fans to meet - if you happen to like them, stop by and tell us so!

I don't think you're going to be disappointed, rather, blown away.
The Kicks are from Little Rock, Arkansas. Prepare to be enlightened, if you're into the incredibly hooky, powerful, fun rock-pop-punkish (power pop!) singalong type stuff. Must be heard to be appreciated. There are links on that community page, but specifically
http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/kicks to hear 3 songs - "Mir" is the single. Just a little heads-up.. it's good to spread around new music! Hit me up with some too! I love the reccomendations.
(This fuckin album immediately became my favorite album of ALL TIME after I heard it. Enjoy, and good luck getting it out of your CD player if you happen to buy it.)
Peace, rock and take care
Jake
