Me and Brad think they're awesome possum and you should too! Their new album REUNION TOUR came out recently and its very good, but so are all their albums. Nicely lyrical without being overwrought and generally fun to listen to, even their sad stuff.

Give them a listen!

I'll agree that they're awesome, but I don't know about possum. Some kind of marsupial, definitely, but not possum.

"Plea From a Cat Named Virtute" from their old album Reconstruction Site gives me the sad sniffles.

I appreciate them because they helped Greg Graffin on his solo album and tour. I've never heard them besides that though.

I agree that Reunion Tour is great, but I only heard it for the first time a week ago. "Relative Surplus Value" and "Tournament of Hearts" were both the kind of song that I had to back up and play again, I thought they were so good.

There's a sequel to this song on their new album.

They are pretty great. They're a good combination of some indie rock, punk, and folk styles, and their lyrics are simple, direct, but not without meaning. It's a kind of songwriting that I really like, the sort of narrative style behind a lot of their music.

I don't know if my fragile emotions could take it.

It's even sadder than the first song, too.

The songs called "Virtue the Cat Explains her Departure." You better believe it's sad.
