From last.fm:

If you're looking for glossy pop, this ain't it. Ike and his Assassination reel off "real-rock", tune after tune. Lyrically rough and sharp, but poignant and intellectual. If you like fun, witty, and sometimes coarse (yet still smart) harder alt. rock, then this is your ticket to paradise. Crack open a beer with a few friends and enjoy.

The 757s: Can you really record two albums worth of material just a week after forming a band? For the four members of Twin Cities-based The 757s, the answer is “yes.” The 757s departed from the norm by recording their debut album after their very first practice session—with no written songs or extensive rehearsals. “Our model quickly became writing songs in the 10 minutes prior to recording them,” says the band’s founder, Seth Zimmerman. “The idea was to put together a group of friends that could play and get along, which seemed reasonable at the time.” Read more about The 757s on Last.fm.
