If I had a nickel for every contemporary band (or in fact every band through history) that's "not very original," I'd be driving a much fancier car than I do.
I like these guys a lot--they're good at what they do, are great live performaers, and appear to be having a really good time being a band.
The bandana is really more Copperhead Road-era Steve Earle (at least in the video) than Steve Van Zandt, whose bandana is more of a pirate statement.

El Torpedo is a cool name just because it's so totally random. I like to think there was a lot of beer involved when they decided that was a good name for a band.
