I saw them play at the Sterling Heights festival and was amazed by their peformance. Not only did they involve the crowd when they performed, they also sounded excellent in every aspect.
They where alsome plus I could listen to the guys play all day long. They are really friendly if someone ask them something they will answer with no problem.
