I love them. Neither John or Michelle have the best voices in the world, but they write absolutely lovely songs.

 

I've seen them twice live and both times, I thought they were pretty damn good. They weren't a good match for the bill with Paramore/PWT and Simple Plan though...they just aren't the right style of music...

i love all their songs' date=' ive seen them live and they blew me away..

 

they are a great band and i agree that neither of them have the best voices but they are great musicians.. favorite song is prolly another word for desperate or costello..[/quote']

 

Yeah, I saw them live before I had ever heard any of their music (opening for, oddly enough, Rooney a couple of years ago) and I was absolutely blown away by that show. That's what got me into the band in the first place...

 

And I talked to Will for awhile and Michelle for a few minutes at the Simple Plan show and they are just the nicest people you'll ever meet.

It is said that they will release their cd on June 19th. According to the maing page, they are signed to Republic Records. They're not listed on the Republic or Universal sites yet though.

 

They have a new video for the song Buttoned Down from their new cd.

I got their new album on Tuesday. It is simply amazing, I love every single song. I would say its a lot different then their first cd. They have 2 enhanced videos that they did themselves. One is for the track Buttoned Down and the other is for the track How Do I Fix My Head. Here is a list where you can get the different bouns tracks:

 

extra tracks from:

best buy offer (2 songs)

newberry comics offer (3 songs)

itunes (5 songs)

 

If you want all the songs but don't want to buy all of them here is what their streetteam is doing, I think you have to join,but I'm not sure. This was said on Straylight Run's message board:

We're doing a thing on the street team where if you can prove you bought the CD, someone who has them will send you the bonus tracks. It's just not viable for everyone to buy all the versions of the CD from everywhere to have them all.

jfoijeoi I saw them on the simple plan tour in 2005 and I hatedddd them.

 

but then I really started to appreciate them this year. they did an in-store performance here in june and I met them. there weren't many people there, it was awesome.

 

saw them at warped tour and they were amazing. hands in the sky is such a great live song.
