I'm always a little apprehensive about buying a band's album(s) after having only seen them once at a show. I never know if the recorded version is going to live up to the hype of the live environment. After seeing Comrades last night I was blown away by their set. Listening to their newest album Lone/Grey today I am still blown away. These guys are fantastic live and the tracks definitely do their show justice. I honestly can't wait to see them again.

This might be one of my favorite photos I've taken all year. Holy burritos batman ZXO played a mean set at The Accord. Check em out and enjoy the cosmic orange juice that is their sumptuous sound.
