"Originally from the suburbs of North Carolina, this animated pop/punk band really turned up the heat. Aside from starting with a few technical setbacks (TMS had to sound check just moments before playing), the band’s passionate performance left a strong impression from the get-go. Their catchy and upbeat tunes were accompanied by insightful and intelligent lyrics. “There’s one hell of a chance I will never have a dollar to my name / I wander slow into self-inflicted shit so not a goddamn thing will change,” frontman Josh Merry sang on “Bohemian Apathy.” These four packed the Elbo Room with a lot of punch, introducing keyboards and Southern soul to the stage. At one point Merry was banging on drummer Cassidy Price’s set with a pair of maracas, and in his fervor broke his shakers. Now that’s rock ‘n’ roll!" --Performer Magazine, Live Performance Reviews, April 11, 2007
