    So who gives a shit, iamholgerczukay, if they don't sound like Can. They make loud-ass rock & roll and they do it well. If you want Can, go listen to Can. That's what I do.

    I don't think it's dumb that their name comes from the two vocalists from Can. The fucking album cover for Have Mercy is a play on the cover to Soft Machine's Third. Have a look: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51J%2BYvxmNdL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

    True. I probably would not have any bad feelings towards them, but pointing my associations towards Can they can only lose.

    So, this band is named after the two singers for the band "Can" and they have psychedelic album artwork... and they play garage rock revival stuff. False advertisement, I think it's a dumb move on their part.
