This is personally my favorite band. There songs have gotten me through so many things and one of there songs, '42', was me and my ex girlfriend's song. I love them. They are of course not American but hey, everything good doesn't have to be American. My point of view is that this band is amazing and they do right very deep and quite emotional songs that get me crying at times. I've heard every one of there songs and they all seem very original. If you do by chance get to start listening to there music please listen to 'Everything's Not Lost'. It's my favorite song by them and I'm always teary eyed after I hear that song.
There music is so unorthodox to me. I seem to find a new hidden meaning every time I listen to a song over again.
Please try them out. They are amazing and trust me you will love at least one of there songs, everybody does.
