Ive been a fan for along time
But I was just watching an old video on Plan-it-x
and i dawned on me…
you make the best music I have ever heard!
I cant wait for the new record, good luck
Now this is what I call – FUN in the bedroom.
is it possible that you guys’ll release some tapes at some point? i don’t like cds as much and i hate mp3 players
Amazing. I absolutely love you guys. I stumbled upon you on the Zune Marketplace and I am so glad I did. Can’t wait to see you live.

Thanks so much for the download of “Midwestern Minutes”. I would’ve paid for the download, but already ordered the record from No Idea and have ants in my pants to hear it. Thanks again!
I was just thinking that maybe you should list some record stores like mine, haha, as places to buy your records. Sure it doesn’t make any logical sense in the Interweb bot spaces and all but damn it we would like to be recognized for pushing yo shit and making a grand total of $0.75 cents per record we sell once a year!
Yo pimp,

Demo and Share What You’ve got were awesome! What happened? I would say you pulled an against me, except you didn’t sell out to a major label, lol. Still what happened to the music?
I MISS YOU!!! Pittsburgh…. cya there!!!
Not only do i love your music, but the respect i have for all of you is so great. Your shows at Black Cat and the Camel(yes, i saw you two days in a row!) were amazing. you’re a huge influence on my music. Maybe someday i can open for you =]
@Nathaniel Thank you. I particularly enjoyed the Black Cat show too.
Love your music. Top bands on my list: Defiance, Ohio and Nana Grizol. Damn, can it get any better? Midwestern Minutes is amazing. Love Hairpool. A little different sound, but still loving it. All I can say… thanks.
