Anybody else hear this band yet?

I heard the song 'Break Up Sex' on Little Steven's Underground Garage Station and bought the 'Van Tour' mp3 album off Amazon this morning...

Kinda sounds like 'Shake Your Money Maker' era Crowes with some flashier guitar and a dude and chick trading off on lead vocals. The dude sounds a bit like Jack White, but the chick really wails.

Don't have anything to share, but you can check out some clips at the Amazon link above... real catchy stuff.

The band's guitarist Josh offers several "How To' videos at Youtube about country guitar playing. What is strange is that many of them have a paragraph of text obscuring his guitar (which you can not remove), so you can't see what he is doing. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a joke or a way of getting you to purchase the video, as there is no link or mention of them at the band's official site. http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-confused-smileys-718.gif (http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/facebook-smileys.html)

Josh seems a little weak...

Yeah, the first time I heard him sing I thought he was one of the chicks in the Indigo Girls. http://freesmileyface.net/smiley/Surprise/surprised-013.GIF (http://freesmileyface.net)

Maybe a little off-topic but I couldn't help having a '70's flashback after seeing that name .

I can remember seeing Uriah Heep way back in the day - their road crew wore t-shirts that read " Heep Big Mother Truckers "

O-kay , I'll shut up now.......
