Brag Kings

If nothing else, the members of Tucson indie rock outfit seemingly have an endless supply of confidence in their sound. How do we know this? Just check out the slogan on their MySpace page, bub, featuring the declaration that they're the "Most Underrated Band in The World.” Normally we’d just...

If nothing else, the members of Tucson indie rock outfit seemingly have an endless supply of confidence in their sound. How do we know this? Just check out the slogan on their MySpace page, bub, featuring the declaration that they're the "Most Underrated Band in The World.” Normally we’d just chalk this up to typicial musician swagger, but their bragging is backed up by the quality and diversity coolness of their music.
