The singer is also in the Secret Stars.
I didn't like them when they first came out because I was 'into' screamy and chuggy hardXcore, but now I appreciate them a lot more. I relate this piece of personal trivia because like so many great bands (Merel)I thought they had broken up and I would never get to see them. But they're still touring (as of summer 2000) so that's good. Check the Southern Records site for tour info: www.southern.net.
What they sound like is mellow and drawl-sy.
