other local band: clawing their way up the
musical ladder trying to get a handhold in

fan-voted spot on 97X's Next Big Thing in
December of 2010 and releasing a full
length in April, they're proving that they
have the capability to shatter expectations.

NS: Late last year, you guys played at Next Big Thing
after winning a slot from 97X. Describe the feeling you
had when you recognized how hard your fans worked to
get you that gig.
Jake: That was probably one of the most fun and best
shows that we had because of the fact that we were voted
on. We've been asked to do other festivals, but it means a
