I really can’t praise this band enough.  I give them a lot of credit, particularly where it is due.  The lead singer belts out soul from his lungs.  You think the rich, easy-going lifestyle of San Diego, where this band is from, wouldn’t produce such wonderful soul songs.  However, the song Trashcan changes such a perception.

The song doesn’t drag you, in facts holds you dearly as it tells its story.  Listening to it, you want to play every instrument from the vocals to what kind of sounds like a trashcan (could be?).   It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what this song is about, but the songwriting takes what could be a tired old story of hope and rejuvenation and makes it into beautiful poetry.  They don’t need to tell you the whole story, just how they are feeling.  And damn it, that’s something special.
