Thank you this band is soooo overrated . . . .
The fact that they have WNCW's #1 album for the fourth year in a row either just ads to my being mystified over what all the fuss is about, or it is just another reminder of how far the once mighty WNCW has fallen in recent years. More likely, both.
The fuss is that they write banal, pussywhipped lyrics for banal, pussywhipped sensitive guys who never get the girl because they are such banal pussywhipped people.
I've been thinking that the core followers of this boy band are mostly males in their 30s and 40s, not the younger mixed audiences I would expect. They are kinda southern and from NC, but pretty mainstream in their sound and appeal (country, folk, pop rock). They definitely peaked a couple years back, and more regional these days. The Avett Bros are ok, but noting to get all worked up over.
I'm with you Greg. After all this time I am still trying to figure out what all the fuss about this band is.
I don't know. They played the Westville Pub the first week my store was open. I don't have a point, but I wish them well.
I am getting sick of the Avett Brothers.
I was wondering how they found the time to write songs while constantly being on the road, but then I realized that they had stolen my 13 year-old niece's diary.
