This site is a lot more lo-fi than their previous versions. I was a little turned off at the bigness of everything. The post titles seemed way too huge, even on my screen which is at a higher res than most.

The bigness, though, is offset nicely by some whitespace, and the fact that this is more Web 2.0 than a lot of band sites that just stick up some basic info and a link to a zillion overpopulated social networking sites. Users are able to post comments on news items and personal band blogs, and there’s even an RSS and a mobile phone photo feed from the band in the header. Good on them; anything to get away from the template-that-you-don’t-really-own called Myspace and their god-awful Flash mp3 player.
