Wednesday evening

I first heard about this band through an Indie playlist. The song that was in it was "All my Friends." That was like 4 years ago. I only just started really listening to the rest of their music. After listening to all their albums, I came to the conclusion that this band plays amazing music. I love their alternative rock sound. I like the singer's voice, but I seriously just love their alternative sound, it truly defines alternative rock.

Thanks for letting us know Possum. I was hoping new songs would be big news and all over Youtube by now. I hope the new EP is another 7 track stunner.

One of them is called 1996 and I don't think she mentioned the name of the other one. 1996 was excellent. I think they played another new one, I'm having trouble remembering if they did or not. However every song was spot on last night.

I heard that they played two new songs last week - anybody have any idea what the songs were called and whether they were any good?
