Tremendous effort whether you like indy rock or not

"I bought this cd years ago not knowing anything about the band, much less the songs on the cd. To say I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. Hefner is still one of my favorite bands, although they have since disbanded, no pun intended, okay maybe a little.
Every song on this cd is memorable, meaningful, and heartfelt. The singer may not have the best voice, in fact some may say he has a terrible voice, but it's very distinct, which in many ways makes it more enjoyable and leaves a lasting impression on the listener.
It's hard to pick a favorite track, as each song is catchy and original. This cd has a very raw quality to it that really adds to the melancholy mood displayed throughout. If I had to compare Hefner to another band, I'd say they're an English version of early Weezer stuff. If you like indy rock you'll love Hefner. Check them out."
