I've been listening to this band since the mid 90's when they were promoting themselves on the streets of Chicago in the rain, hail & SNOW! This is one of the only bands that SOLD OUT shows continuously in Chicago years before they were ever signed on basically word of mouth and self-promotion! They are not only one of the most "pretty" bands out there, but they have a raw talent that you just don't seem to find anymore! All these bad reviews simply shock me...see for yourself what a great band they are - I'm sure you'll agree with me that they're worth every single penny! My recommendations are "Race the Dream", "Raining all the Time" & No one dreams ANYWAY" - off this album - but their earlier stuff "Welcome to Chicago MF", "Don't die wondering" & "Nerve Gas" are amazing too. You'll be mesmerized and hypnotized by their music! TRUTH be told they are AWESOME!
