They were really nice about posing and accommodating any requests. The one-two lunch of radio ready tunes “Bury Me” and “Your Body” appears to show that they’ve been staying up with current trends and know what fans want to hear.Īfter the set the guys stuck around to sign copies of their new album and take photos with everyone who came to see them play. I haven’t had a chance to hear Parallel Universe yet, but a couple of the songs they played were a lot of fun.

On the other hand that was a while ago and the shine has worn off for the most part. On the one hand it’s a local band who’ve made a name for themselves on a national level. I wasn’t sure what to expect walking in to Reckless Records on a Friday night for an in-store performance by Plain White T’s.
