Ok, I know some of the guys from this group post here and I don't want to offend anyone but...
I like the record a lot and got it on vinyl last year. It also came with an mp3 download which i put on my ipod.
Anyway while it sounds fine on vinyl, i find it almost unlistenable on the ipod. It's really shrill and loud. Is this a mastering issue?

I don't know too much about the band, but I saw some concert video on YouTube and in the info part it said they opened for Zach Galafanakis, which made me want to go out and buy all of their stuff.

If 'Freedom Wind' was released by the Beach Boys in the mid-60s, it would go down as one of their greatest albums ever

I don't know much about the group, had never heard of them before I saw them do a gig last year as Mark Lindsay's backup band. They were great in that role, but they have since broken up.

The vocals are great! Don't know what to say about the orchestration, though, sounds a bit too sentimental somehow (the violins & piano excluded, they're amazing). Still, thanks for the link, EgoH! I like this band.

They perfectly capture the sound and essence of The Beach Boys on 'Freedom Wind'
These guys shouldve been brought in to produce TWGMTR.
Im sure what they would have come up with wouldve been 10x better than the sub-par album we ended up getting

I was hard on the band back when Freedom Wind was released but I grew to like them. I enjoyed Grand Hotel much more. Too bad they have disbanded. I encourage anyone here on this board to check the band out, in particular this fan video for Weight Of The World which is incredibly poignant and sad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBmHNVZxvqI

As much as I enjoy the group, I think their music videos are (to put it nicely) a little dissapointing. A group this strong deserves better. Great music though!

Sounds very 70's. I could imagine this being played on some 1975 top 40 radio station after they just finished playing Barry Manilow.

God, what a lame video. But the song is really cool. I loved both albums and hope they'll get together for one more.

New song from 'The Explorers Club' from their new album 'Together' https://soundcloud.com/expclub/quietlyI love the sound of this track. Personally, I don't care if they're just a BB's knock off - when the music is this good, its worth listening to The album cover has a 'Friends'-ish look to it aswell.

This album has some great songs on it. Gave it a listen last week.
