[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

23 - Maker hooks: You need these to ride the sandworms. Play something with seriously catchy hooks.

One of my favorite bands to turn folks on to.

Every one of their songs, EVERY ONE OF THEIR SONGS, has a hook or a lyric or a riff that burrows into your brain and sets up a magical shop. Tim Rogers is the musical genius no one knows. Such an underrated band.

For lack of a better description, I always considered these guys a collision of the best parts of Paul Westerberg, Big Star and The Who.

@Thackeraye - back me up here, my brother...







You Am I - Hi Fi Way
