Seattle Weekly published the exact same story on the exact same day, though somehow someone else wrote their article and put it in different wording. Is it wrong of me to find this suspicious?

I don't get it. I've heard these guys a zillion times before. They are one of the thousands of Seattle-flavored, alterna-boy bands that have been cranked out for years already, if not decades, and all of which have faded into the background only to be replaced by another one fresh off the assembly line. There's absolutely nothing new here: the world's most predictable "happy-time" pop music elements/chord progressions/drum parts/lyrical content/hand-clapping. I don't know why I think I can depend on an article in the Stranger anymore for direction in finding "new" music when they apparently can't even recognize a retread when they hear it.

5skin, how dare you outskin me! And, yes, I drool.
