Forget all your politics for a while

Another great husband+wife duo. Band I haven't heard of until just now but they have been around since 97'. Also probably one of the first bands that I really enjoy from Kansas, go figure (sorry Melissa Etheridge). The duo goes by the name of Mates Of State, and their song "Get Better" has seriously caught my fancy.

It is real heavy on the strings, and not as poppy and hard as I usually like. Come to think of it, it is much more polished than what I have been listening to lately. If I'm going to have to make a comparison it would have to be to the Irish band Guggenheim Grotto, who, if I haven't mentioned them before, are 100% worth a listen. The song really doesn't let up straight from the get go. One of the best parts of the track is the heavy influences on the strings, it really makes the song sound just a bit classier and it makes it slightly more sonically complex in a really great way. Well, enjoy!
