Ze spelen een naar mijn mening een Mix van Smashing Pumpkins , Stone Temple Pilots en Manic Street Preachers , een te gekke sound , je moet het gehoord hebben.
Je hoort de laatste tijd ook steeds meer stukjes van ze in bekende TV series zoals NCIS en The Vampire Diaries.
Een aanrader !!!!!! MUST HEAR .... 


History

The band members are friends who had played together previously or in mutual friends' bands. They got their start in many of the most important L.A. clubs, most often at Silverlake Lounge or nearby Spaceland, and began to draw a strong following upon the release of the Pikul EP.

The band originated in L.A.'s Silver Lake music scene, home of Elliott Smith, Rilo Kiley and others[1].

The band was originally called A Couple of Couples. Their current name comes from a liquor and convenience store across from the Silverlake Lounge and near their house at Sunset and Silverlake Blvds in Los Angeles. In interviews, however, the band often say their name is more of "a state of mind,"[2] supposedly from living so close to everything an L.A.-based indie rock band would need late at night. For Pikul, fellow Silverlaker Tanya Haden was enlisted to play cello.
