No they're not listed on this site, so the "General music" section is the place to discuss them.
If you want to propose them for addition, use the "Suggest new bands" section. Probably worth a search for an existing thread first though.  |

And the Glass Handed Kites is awesome! I've been spinning that regularly for over a year.

this is the first time listening to this band, I kind of like it for its sugary sweetness, but then again it seems like I might hate it too, weird....it'd be a test if I could listen to a full-length CD of theirs, if I could listen at least half way though without wanting to throw it against the wall I may just surrender to their twinkly sounds,

Yeah they are an awesome band. Got to see them live a year ago. Just as good there as they are in the stereo.

If you haven't heard it, Frengers (their first album) is good as well... but Glass Handed Kites is better.

And the Glass Handed Kites isn't particularly sappy, in my opinion.

Frengers is oozing with sappiness. But that's a good thing!

sappy? are you mistaking "feeling" for "sappiness"? it is poppy/catchy/sentimental in a way, but I don't know if I would call it sappy per se....

True. I also prefer it to And the Glass Handed Kites, if only just for the opening track (which happens to be one of the sappier numbers  )
