Comments: From the band's website: "First single, 'Love Me, Chase Me,' is a potion derived from extracts of Beatles, Doors, Zeppelin, and Hendrix, but the wisp of white smoke rising from that test-tube is some other element, newly discovered. 'It’s cinematic, it jumps around to different places, and in the span of five minutes, it sort of sums up what we’re capable of as a band,' says guitarist Zane Carney of the song."

Lead singer Reeve Carney (though the family name certainly spawned the name of the band, they ride the carnival shtick into the ground on this deese record) is set to play Spiderman on Broadway. Clearly he's got some pipes and this band takes some interesting twists and turns on their debut record -- particularly the jazzy "Amelie." Check that one out.
