    They’re pretty fucking solid too.

    Hard rock, with the occasional harder or softer tracks.

    A few of my favorites

      I saw her live and it was a pretty disappointing set. She was very noticeably intoxicated.

      Same, as well as the fact that she was almost Hannah Montana, and is glad she didn’t get the role

    Coincidentally, I just discovered them yesterday. Her voice is INCREDIBLE. If you’re a rock fan, check ‘em out.

    In that context, it would have been kind of funny if they’d called the band The New Lou Who, and done a few covers of songs by The Who.

      I feel that would be a great movie for her, if she ever acts again.

        I was half-joking, TBC. Technically, the original song’s title was “Welcome Christmas,” and I wouldn’t exactly expect a band trying to be any kind of hip to perform it:
