do they still sound like a Smiths cover band?

Well, the Smiths with keys and more song parts and indie rock sonic trappings, but yeah

murray sounded more like damon albarn than morrissey... but he stopped that for the most part part a few years back.
it's too bad about the old lineup dissolution, they were shit-hot amazing in '04-05. anxious to hear the new album.

Chris left the band in August to play guitar with The Dears. He will still moonlight with us now and then. The blood between us all is good. That was the overly complicated/cryptic way of saying that we're all still good friends.enjoy...
