    For some reason, that reminds me of the phrase "pinching a loaf", which is what I imagine their music to sound like.

    thats a great name, although I woulda made the minor change of Rumpledforeskin, along the lines of:

    John Cougar Concentration Camp

    The Diarrhea of Anne Frank

    Too soon for jokes about the Holocaust-related? Eh probably never joke-able, but I laughed anyway.

    So good, apparently, that two different bands used it.

    I'm surprised you didn't say Kings of Leon. If I were you, I'd be pissed.

    They're actually pretty good, but yeah, the "pinching a loaf" similarity is tragic.

    I was recently poring over the liner notes for some record, and was oddly pleased to find out that there was a band called Ferrara Brainpan.
