I've never even heard a nanosecond of their music, but based on this cover picture alone, I want to devote the rest of my life to making sure their lives are filled with torment, regret and pain.
Someone convince me why they shouldn't be slain. How is their music?

I thought they sounded like some whitebread alt-country powerpop shit...i.e., they rocked even less than the Georgia Satellites (or Replacements) used to. As hypes go, I'd probably take Kings of Leon, who at least had some small semblance of '70s afternoon-rock GROOVE.

Dig these cuts -- "Tramp" -- from the first Stray Dog album. "Free Man" -- from the first Point Blank album. "Inside Looking Out" -- not southern, but very Grand Funk "red" album.
Lotsa shuffles.
All Night do southern rock but they're out-of-luck poverty cases.
What else do we got in the ugly, doomed and out of cash category.The "new" Molly Hatchet. The Dixie All Stars -- an "old" Molly Hatchet and Blackfoot. The new "old" Molly Hatchet live on theKing Biscuit.

Corey Parks is the sister of NBA journeyman Cherokee Parks, interestingly. She'd probably be a better rebounder. I guess she's fronting some band in L.A. now, trying to stay clean. I have these details from a Danish friend of mine.

The Parks woman is in the Hunns.
And if my memory isn't faulty the local daily crapper informed a while back that she runs some store near Melrose that designs and sells garments for the Hollywood rocker.

‘I would consider myself personally political, yes,’ Chris suddenly declares amidst a record-company’s rooftop, with admirable aplomb. ‘Especially over the way certain events are unfolding in America right now.’
‘Yeah,’ nods Cameron, seated opposite – the (nearest to being) mysterious one – who bizarrely notes, ‘it’s hardly Canada now, is it?’
Nic grins, ‘Well, that’s because – in Canada – everyone’s too busy growing goatees.’

Oh fuck man, I saw a Killers tribute band at a Kirkaldy nightclub called 'Kittys' earlier this year. In between doing 'Human' at the start of the set and doing 'Somebody Told Me' and 'Mr Brightside' TWO HOURS LATER there was a whole lotta shuffling and staring at feet going on.

The StereoManic's are a four-piece tribute to the excellent Stereophonic's and Manic Street Preachers. The bands love of high energy, exciting and poignant music sits perfectly with the songs of two of the finest bands to have emerged from the nineties melting pot and audiences are left drained but exulted with the energy and passion the band invest into every performance. The StereoManic's can tailor their act to meet customer's needs, being able to provide a specialised set of either or both bands as well as offering a set of classic covers perhaps as a support act to the main tribute show. They have a limit of 3 x 1 hour sets, which should be more than enough to satisfy any customer requirement.STEREOMANICS Classic CoversThe band have a large repertoire of classic covers to suit most tastes, featuring songs spanning four decades. A typical set could include the following: The Beatles-Lady Madonna , Bruce springsteen-Born To run, REM-The One I Love, The Monkees-Daydream Believer , Bryan Adams-Run To You, The Buggles-Video Killed The Radio Star, Travis-Why Does It Always Rain On Me, Marc Cohn-Walking In Memphis, The Beatles-I Saw Her Standing There , Oasis-Live For Ever
