I've never heard of this band before, what type of music do they make?
They're a noisy rock band. Their most popular song on the radio is called "Float On", it came out in 2005 I think.
Cool! they broke into the mainstream when they released their platinum 'Good News for People Who Love Bad News'!
Yes. That's the album that has the song "Float On". It's one of my favorite albums of all time. I would bring it with me to a desert island.
awesome! what would be your second favorite album?
My second favorite album is called The Moon Over Antarctica. My favorite song on that album is called Third Planet.
When they released that album in 2000, indie rock was becoming  more and more mainstream. The band also formed in Issaquah, Washington in 1993!
Yes, they've been around for a while. The leader singer actually owns a bar in Portland that I've been to.
thats really cool, how did you like the bar? how was the pizza?
I loved the way the bar looked, it reminded me a lot of their music. Unfortunately, I didn't have any pizza.
