This Chicago band has drawn comparisons to Guided By Voices and Big Dipper, among others, with production that hints at a more twisted wall of sound than even Phil Spector could have imagined. Their songs are plain-spoken and plaintive, with more hooks than a fleet of tow trucks.  They made their debut with a self-titled 7'' EP in 2007, and their latest EP No Kontrol is out now on the Funambulist label (all available for free download or purchase via their website) [Evan "Funk" Davies / WFMU April 2010]
