Welcoming Home The Astronauts

I was introduced to Flickerstick thanks to the show "Bands On The Run" on VH-1. The series is still in progress, so I don't know if they'll win but I think it will be truly a travesty if they don't. They are a solid band with a mature sound and great songwriting skills. This sounds like a 3rd CD, with the great production and insightful lyrics, not a freshman effort. Flickerstick could live comfortably in the same bin as bands like Matchbox 20 and Fuel, in terms of sound. They have a song-centric approach, eschewing flashy solos and pyrotechnics in favor of tight cohesive tracks that simply blow you away.
