Anyone listen to these guys? They are pretty damn good. This song is about greed and our blindness to it.

Official Video "Pseudologia Fantastica"

Their live version is great as well. These guys have a lot of great songs, not just "Pumped up Kicks."

Sorry, but making every track from the pumped up kicks album a single ruined them for me.

Why would they do that I wonder..

I mean you're just now hearing them a decade later, so I guess that doesn't help your case.
They make catchy songs. That's certainly better than making non catchy songs. But they aren't the kind of catchy that you're happy to be singing, they're the annoying kind of catchy.
Helena beat is slightly less good than pumped up kicks. Don't stop and houdini are just trash.

I went to a concert to see them with my daughter. I was the old guy in the crowd as was pretty impressed. They were very entertaining and for a guy who is a prog rock fan, I very much enjoyed the show.

I'm glad I like that one song of theirs, because it's stupefying when a song gets stuck in my head even though I don't like it.

I'd like to see them live, and ya I'm discovering them a decade later as someone pointed out. What I like is that they appear to be very good live, which says a lot about their talent. I'm a wannabe musician and I respect when a band is as tight as they are.

I don't really have a case. Just sharing. Better late than never though right?

This. Pseudologia Fantastica and Doing for the Money are both great songs. And I'll add Sit Next to Me and Lamb's Wool to the list of some of their great, more recent stuff.

Also saw them in Woodlands awhile back, great show. It was right after the Santa Fe school shooting so they didn't play Pumped Up Kicks which was 100% understandable.

I sat here for about a minute trying to figure out what AJR stands for. Finally gave in and looked it up. It's a band called AJR. Oh.

Atlanta-Johnsonville Revival.

I'm not surprised you haven't heard of them.

Love FTP!! Hadn't listened to them in awhile and before I even noticed this thread, just listened to my fave tracks of theirs in the car this morning. What a coincidence.
