I couldn't find a thread on these guys. They did that song Apologize with Timbaland. I like it, so I looked em up on YouTube and they're pretty cool. Anyone else listen?

"Apologize" annoys the living shiz out of me. I've heard a couple other songs by them, though, and those were actually pretty good.

I think... I'm addicted to it now. Might want to stay away from me for a while.

I listened to them live about a year and a half ago. I never would've thought at the time they would've gotten this big. Here's the video of "Apologize" from that event http://youtube.com/watch?v=riZ_L1Z9IiE

I actually remember sitting on the lawn down the hill from these guys and telling my (then) fiance that I thought they were terrible. From what I've seen of them since, they've refined their sound a bit, but they kinda just seem like Lovedrug lite to me...

I checked out the original "Apologize" and Timbaland's version...I do like the beat work on Timbaland's better...but overall...still not doing it for me.

Maybe eventually they'll put out something that appeals to me more...but so far

Also, and not that it really matters, but I'm pretty sure these dudes have some sort of church ties. The festival I saw them at was Uprising Fest, which was the precursor to Cornerstone California.

Is this a valid resurrection? I dunno. Anyway, recently I've heard some of this bands stuff. Not to like a band just for their singles, but I love the song Secrets, and I get really excited whenever I hear it. All the Right Moves is a good song too. I just got one of their albums, and I definitely have to listen to more of this band. If they've got ties to the church or they're Christian, that would make them even cooler.


And...I'm not really a fan of the song Apologize either.

Well...two of the members met playing soccer at a Christian high school.
