Description
"After three successful full-length records on indie labels-- Reinventing Axl Rose (No Idea, 2002); As the Eternal Cowboy (Fat Wreck Chords, 2003) and Searching For a Former Clarity (Fat Wreck Chords 2005), which reached #9 on the Billboard Top Independent Albums chart and featured the thumping 'Don't Lose Touch'-- this Gainesville, Florida band made its major-label debut on July 10, 2007 with New Wave (Sire Records). The title was tidal for a powerful reason. 'We felt like that was our mission statement, or our manifesto for the record,' Gabel said. 'Instead of sitting back and complaining about how there's no good music out there, you should be energized and take things over. Be the bands you want to hear. It meant 'wave' in a literal sense, coming and washing away mediocrity... Why let someone else have the loudest voice?' asks Gabel, and with his band's new record, he most surely has not."
