I'd liked the first album well enough but hadn't paid attention after that. But I'm finishing listening to the new one, Let's Build a Fire, and damn if there isn't life in these folks yet. It kept catching me off guard just a bit as I listened.

It's none of the major Versus players, is it? Anyway, the drummer is awesome.

You can check out the awesome "Steal the Blueprints" video here.

The slash in the name totally ruins it.

I too liked the s/t album ,but there was just something missing - in the same vein as the post 'Secret Swingers' Versus.

Two ex members of Versus in Plus/Minus i think - but sadly not the main man or the delightfully named Fontaine Toups. That self titled album certainly sounded like Versus to me.

Might have to give this one a try.

i'm wondering how this album turned out - their second was extremely forgettable and i hardly ever listen to them anymore. but i still have a soft spot for The Queen Of Detroit ... what a good song

three years pass...

Their entire output has been consistently engaging. I love the quietloudquiet approach and the stuttering electronica mixture added to blistering guitars.

They've just put out a new tour EP, "Thrown Into The Fire", available from the site.

four years pass...

And now their first new album in 6 years, "Jumping The Tracks". It's a bit quieter than previous but with the occasional shoegazey touch, good stuff.
