Anyone here heard of them or like them? They've recently started getting attention. They have two videos that have been on MTV at some point, the newest one gets played quite often.

They're a great band, in my opinion, and the lyrics can be pretty straightforward without beating around the bush. This is due, in part, to the lead singer and song writer, Max, being bi-polar.

Some examples of this:

From Every Man Has A Molly
"Here I am, laid bare at the end of my rope
I've lost all hope, so long
Molly Connelly just broke up with me
Over the revealing nature of the songs
You god-damned kids had best be gracious with the
merch money you spend
'Cause for you I won't ever have rough sex with Molly Connelly again"

From Yellow Cat (Slash) Red Cat
"lou is bugged and shot up with drugs
he sweats this bird he hardly know
all that he wants is to see someone he respects without their clothes
so like some hybrid mother slash lover she’d soothe and heal his wounds
and kiss those dying ears so softly that the reaper stops to swoon
oh please!"

Here are the two videos that hit mainstream.

Alive With The Glory Of Love

Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too
*Note: Yes, that's Fonzy.*

I happen to love them.

Here's an interview with the lead singer, if you truly are curious about him.

Interview.
Personally, I don't think she should have taken away his unicorn.

He seems more relaxed when he's singing.

The song they're talking about:

Admit It!!!

Despite your pseudo-bohemian appearance
That vaguely leftist doctrine of beliefs
You know nothing about art or sex
That you couldn’t read in any trendy New York underground fashion magazine
Prototypical non-conformist
You are a vacuous soldier of the thrift store Gestapo
You adhere to a set of standards and tastes
That appear to be determined by an unseen panel of hipster judges (bullshit)
Giving a thumbs up or thumbs down to incoming and outgoing trends and styles of music and art
Go analog baby, you’re so post-modern
You’re diving face forward into an antiquated path
It’s disgusting, its offensive don’t stick your nose up at me

Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

You spend your time sitting in circles with your friends
Pontificating to each other forever competing for that one moment of self aggrandizing glory
In which you hog the intellectual spotlight
Holding dominion over the entire shallow pointless conversation
Oh we’re not worthy when you walk by a group of quote unquote normal people
You chuckle to yourself patting yourself on the back as you scoff
It's the same superiority complex
Shared by the high school jocks who made your life a living hell
And it makes you a slave to the competitive capitalist dogma
You spend every moment of your waking life bitching about

Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
And I say yeah, what do you have to say for yourself
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Cause I’m proud of my life and the things that I have done
Proud of myself and the loner I’ve become
You’re free to whine, it will not get you far
I do just fine, my car and my guitar

Proud of my life and the things that I have done
Proud of myself and the loner I’ve become
You’re free to whine, it will not get you far
I do just fine, my car and my guitar, yeah

Well let me tell you this, I am shamelessly self-involved
I spend hours in front of the mirror, making my hair elegantly disheveled
I worry about how this album will sell
Because I believe that it will determine the amount of sex I will have in the future
I self medicate with drugs and alcohol to treat my extreme social anxiety

You are a faker (admit it)
You are a fraud (admit it)
Yeah, you’re living a lie (hey) living a lie (hey) your life is living a lie
You don’t impress me (admit it)
You don’t intimidate me (admit it)
Why don’t you bow down, get on the ground, walk this ******** plank

Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
And I say yeah what do you

I’m proud of my life and the things that I have done
Proud of myself and the loner I’ve become
You’re free to whine, it will not get you far
I do just fine, my car and my guitar, guitar go!

I'm drift drift drift drifting yeah
I'm drift drift drift drifting yeah oh

And I am done with this
I wanna taste the breeze of every great city
My car and my guitar, my car and my guitar
So you've come to me, made of these, urgent unfulfilled
Oh no no no no no
When I'm dead I'll rest
When I'm I'll rest, I'll lay still
When I'm dead I'll rest, I'll rest
