Attention! - The Kissaway Trail

who: The Kissaway Trail
why: so I've been hella slacking on the blogosphere lately... and it's for a good reason - SPRING BREAK!

Seriously, every song sounded like the epic ending to a Spike Jonze movie or something... and I got the album immediately. So should you.

Here's the only music video I found on the YouTubes for their song - "SDP"
