    Self-indulgent garbage for the most part. 34:26 is good, though. I can imagine them being a killer live act.

    They put on a KILLER live show, got a signed Getting Paid LP too. Bummer their discography is so small, need another record or some more live shows asap.

    The first album is good. I own it on vinyl. I would recommend it to those that are a fan of the second album. It is rather different.

    This is the second band I've checked out solely on the name (used to be a huge GW fan, lol). It was a real WTF moment, as naming your band after Zechs is clearly genius…the music had to be nothing less than pure awesome…and it was! Luckily, you can sometimes judge a book by its title and still win. Score.

    When I saw these guys in 2009 during their tour with Free Moral Agents I was blown away and I bought a copy of their album. Now, I've just heard Getting Paid, and it sounds amazing. I'm hoping these guys come through again because I'd love a chance to see them one more time. Also, I slipped Marcel a copy of my band's demo tape, I wonder if he ever listened to it.
