So... Is this a Twilight-Inspired Metalcore band or something?

Hey, they stole the background from Rush's "Roll the Bones" video for their promo shot! If these videos don't have a rapping skeleton, I'm going to be pissed.

Diane Young=Dying Young?

the band will commit suicide on the day of the record's release.

I like this band. I know most on here will just make fun of them, but the first album is amazing. Last one was pretty good.... these songs are good, weird how they do that voice warp in both songs.

I like them, too. I was resistant at first due to my natural reluctance to agree with the mainstream media on anything at all, ever, but I really think their first album was relatively worthy of all the hype.

It sounds like he's a having a stroke in Diane Young.

For vampire band, they sound like pussys. They should kill themselfs.

NotSteven (March 19, 2013)

I like them. They're one of the only bands comprised of young people that I listen to.

I hope the song "Diane Young" refers to the lifespan of this band.

The secret to being respected songwriters the world over: Talk about actual street names in your songs. You will forever be loved having such insight and real world experience.

Ala Ryan Adams- New York? Although I do like me some Ryan and definitely Whiskeytown.

Such a modest mouse.
