Well, I haven't heard too much discussion of these guys so I thought I'd start a topic on them!

They have three EPs and an album out now. (Though one of the EPs is short enough that I could almost call it a single...) I think they're one of the best indie pop/rock bands out there right now, and I heartily recommend them to anyone who enjoys stuff like The New Pornographers, Stars, and Belle and Sebastian.

Raised By Wolves EP - 2005 - Probably my favorite. All five of the songs on here are classics. The fan favorite, "The Start of Something," is a great little song that really harks back to the poppier side of the Smiths.

Mothers, Daughters, Sisters and Wives EP - 2006 - Another damn good one, though the title track is without a doubt the standout.

Your Biggest Fan EP - 2006 - Only three songs, but the title track is a whole ton of fun and "Trouble" was the first song I ever heard from them and probably my favorite.

Voxtrot s/t - 2007 - Their first full album. Not as overall fantastic as most of their EPs, but it has some definite great songs like "Kid Gloves," "Ghost," and "Blood Red Blood."

So yeah, Voxtrot? Totally awesome.

I liked the first two EPs a lot. The album, while I like many of the songs, didn't impress me quite as much. Still, not bad.

Never heard their EPs, but their album is good stuff. I like "Stephen".

Their Album was really disapointing after the first three EPs. It was hard to get over the shock that Voxtrot could write a song that wasn't amazing. If you can skip though the album as if it were just another EP, it's really a lot stronger. There is just too much distraction.
