I know no one probably knows, but their first album (Suburban Hymns) is finally out (today). It's awexome. The Life And Times is the love child that Allen Epley formed after the breakup of his former band Shiner. TLAT Ep is great, but this album is phenomenal (IMHO)—anyone who dug Shiner should absolutely pick this up.

Geez, I never know how to answer that. It's similar to Shiner, obviously, but practically no one has heard of them, either. I hate to use that evil word "emo," but I guess that's what some folks would call it. Other similar band would be Death Cab for Cutie, maybe some Radiohead in there, Sunny Day Real Estate/Fire Theft, Appleseed Cast. Listen to the Shiner clips and TLAT clips on iTunes.

They used stock video without paying for it?

'Getty Images' is watermarked on their opening count down thing.

True. Me neither. It's probably the director's doing, but who knows?

No doubt gotten from here somewhere. Maybe he just ripped that clip? I doubt a purchased clip, even if royalty-free, would still have the watermark.

Anyway, that's all beside the point! Good tunes.
