They're not terrible, they just sound like a million other bands out there. They do have a couple catchy songs tho. I like that You and Me song.

g9, you are so brave to lob out comments without attaching your name to them.

Julene McCoys track record with music is dismally low. I know this falls under more of a non-review (another one of her specialties)but I think she needs to stick to other topics than music.

Jesus Christ, this band stinks.

I don't know much about these guys but they really seem to be banking on this song, and that's usually a bad long-term sign for a band. Hey There Delilah was on a 2005 album All That We Needed, then in 2006 Every Second Counts, and then in 2006 EP Hey There Delilah with a "new" version and a "live" version.

Don't know how these guys will last through this. Saw them at a show a few months ago with some kids from work. The band plays the whole show than does the faux-exit. Only the singer comes back on, grabs a guitar, and sings Hey There Delilah by his lonesome. Not the best representation of the band as a whole when the #1 song from the band is a solo effort. And besides, they didn't really seem to fit together well anyway. Just a different sound than his voice was made for.

If plain white T's had been at pitchfork, everybody here would love them.

Julene is right, what's the point of being in a band if you're not making money and getting laid? Fuck that true artist BS. It's rock and roll, it's popular, deal with it.

The Plain White T's opened for my band at a concert in Decatur, IL back in 1996 or 1997. True story. They were much better than us back then, imagine that. lol

Are you against bands getting laid? That's not very rock-n-roll. I, too, am pop-punked/emo'd out and luckily have not had to hear the song today since I don't have sound at work, but it's a milestone for the band nonetheless.

Man, this song blows. It's the typical "emo acoustic" song all punk-type bands like to plop onto their records to help them get chicks. It's also so very annoying. I liked this band a few years ago, but after listening to way to much Fall Out Boy and Academy Is... and the like, I'm This-Samey-Sounding-Kind-Of-Music-ed out.
