" the last title of C'mon Kids, so the last title of our tape... It begins very poppy, then there is an orchestral construction until all you can listen is some kind of white noise. Suddenly everything stops. Then trumpets come with someone reading a poem. Everything, wonderfully arranged. Red Ballon For Me, the last title of Holes In The Wall was inspired by lyrics of another one of their songs, Bullfrog Green".

Yes i read this mag every month and i was happy to see that young bands have good inspiration !!

By the way i saw them live in Clermont-Ferrand (center of France) on december, they were first part of Grandaddy!!

And i had the pleasure to talk with the brother guitarist who came with teh audience to watch Grandaddy !!

I told him that i'd love what they are doing (of course and it's true !!) and to keep listening to the boo stuff !!
No joking !!!
