They are good. Small wonder I discovered them (via Hype Machine) in the past few days. Fred, have you checked out Sea Wolf? I've been listening to "You're A Wolf" repeatedly since I 1st heard them on KCRW...

so if what you've posted is the new sound scan, then this may be the new MTV metric:

Now granted this is with a YT promotion, but these are not underground numbers. There are hit numbers.
I've said it once, and I'll say it again. I worry when a band hits this hard the week of debut release, as there is less friction (almost none) in the blogosphe. Its here today, and gone in a few months.
I wish these guys the best.
