Lead single from their upcoming sophomore effort. "Someone Like You" reached the top 20 last era, but I doubt they find that kind of success this time around. Howard Benson is producing the album.  |

Their debut album was not too bad, but yeah I think they're more situated for Triple A or AC possibly.

Well, shut my mouth. "Someone Like You" was the very familiar song I heard the tail end of just the other day and could not, for the life of me, figure out what it was. I knew it was a minor hit by a band with fairly limited success and was very popular on my secondary Alternative station (and that it ended in the letter "U" - long story), but I was guessing it was from 2005 or 2006. It was really bothering me for a couple days, but my mind is so preoccupied with other things right now that I'd momentarily forgotten all about it. I don't know that I would've ever gotten around to trying to figure out what it was, but then as soon as I saw this topic, "Someone Like You" instantly came to me. It couldn't have been any easier than if this topic had been created on Friday. Simply amazing.

Happened to see these guys live last year. They put on a pretty good show and were really tight. The turnout wasn't too good, but no one at this school turns out for anything. They don't sound like an AC or Triple A band live.
That said, "Stay" walked the line of being a Switchfoot ripoff.

Decent song. Sounds like a mix between Default & OneRepublic.

I smell cross-over potential...

^Indeed. I like it. This certainly could be a smash because they definitely got plenty of exposure with their debut on radio and vh1.

Yeah, this is really good. I can see it doing real well on HAC, alongside the new David Cook track.
