20082009 , i saw them live when they opened for metallica . I was bored and wanted them off the stage because i wanted to see my boys . fast forward to 2011 when i heard them on the radio . it sounded cool and i put that song in the back of my head for a while . the djs had nothing but high praise for themone day , i woke up and i was scouring through youtube and i randomly decided to revisit the song i heard on the radio . and then i heard a couple other songs and i realized this band completed me . i feel so dumb that i didnt listen to them when they opened for metallica . but since then i have seen them play twice . i dont know where to start to tell you about their music . it ' s different . it ' s metal . its rock . its pop . it ' s rockabilly . they have it all . their sound is so broad that it has something for everyone . the song ecotone has a riff from the shortest straw . listen to that first .
