I recommend this band to anyone that enjoys Streetheart, Smashing Pumpkins, and/or smooth voices teamed up with catchy melodic songs, cryptic lyrics, and interesting ideas.

And before anyone asks, the lead singer is male.

Enjoy.

I love the guitar tone this band uses. Reminds me of the 90s. Carnavas is a solid album.

I love this band and I think they're highly underrated. I haven't played their stuff in a while, but I will surely listen to it soon.

Carnavas is a solid album.

Indeed it is, and "Swoon" is set to be released some time this year; I'm expecting only good things.

As am I. This band needs more hype.

From wikipedia: Swoon will include 17 tracks and, instead of having a straight forward mid-tempo sound, "some songs are very quiet and delicate, [while] others are just fucking loud." (Brian Aubert)

And yes, definitely more hype.

Wouldn't it just be SP? Because it's only two words.

I've never seen any abbreviation used for this band other than sspu.

They have some pretty strong songs, but the record as a whole seems to drag on a bit.
