Is Smoking Popes or Thirty Seconds to Mars from further west?
Smoking Popes The Smoking Popes is an American pop punk band from the northwest suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, formed in 1991. They play punk-influenced pop music with crooning vocals. The core of the group is composed of brothers Matt Caterer (born 1968), Josh Caterer (born 1972) and Eli Caterer (born 1975).
Reptilians (Starfucker album) Reptilians is the third studio album by the Portland-based electronic indie rock band Starfucker. Departing from the light feel of their previous work, "Jupiter" (2009), the twelve-track "Reptilians" includes lyrics by Joshua Hodges about death and the end of the world, while musically not sounding depressing. One of the ways these theories are supported is using samples of British-American philosopher Alan Watts in some of the tracks. Finished in November 2010 and released on March 8, 2011 by Polyvinyl Records, two singles were issued from "Reptilians", which was "Julius" in late 2010 and "Bury Us Alive" in January 2011. Upon its release, the album earned mostly positive reviews from music critics, with praise going towards the band's development from their previous records and re-listening value. On the American "Billboard" Top Heatseekers chart, it entered at number 26.
