Personally I'm a big fan, and thoroughly enjoyed the sesh from the
Astoria the other day. I think it's a tad unfair to call them band wagon
jumpers, in that they have a very distinctive sound, which has links in
many areas of the AJ genre, but with their own twist. Besides which,
they have been around for some time now, tracks like 'Profound Gas',
'Nothing', and the albums are generally of a high standard, and very
eclectic with it. Besides, it's good to have some 'Sisters...' from time
to time!!

Just my opinion
