Bright Eyes - direwolf74 - 02-07-2005

Anybody heard these guys? I'm interested in checking them out. I keep reading articles about how great they are, and how Conor Oberst is being touted as one of the great young American songwriters, etc... I also read that they opened for both Pearl Jam and R.E.M. last year. So my question is: are they worth the hype?

Hear Hear...Damien Rice is one of the more unpretenious and lyrical male songwriters I've heard in awhile. Woman like a Man and Cannonball are sublime works of art.
