the style, no, and the guy can't help the way he naturally sings, but the resemblance is sort of eerie.

I think they painted that suit blue and put it on John Leguizamo when they filmed Spawn!

i find the similarity and resemblance quite creepy really.

if i didn't know about the cons already (they ARE on the same label as dallas green, so that makes the scenario quite plausible) i would find this song pretty catchy..

that aside, all i can actually think about is how this dude isn't quite bry webb enough.

We are talking about Dallas Green and not Dallas Wehrle, right? Wehrle's the Constantine.

These guys sound superficially like the Constantines (I guess) but are way more "produced" and boring (note: I don't think the Constantines are boring but these dudes are).

Also, this song is essentially a rewrite of "Working Fulltime".

Bry plays a Guild Starfire 4 and this guy plays what looks like an Epi. Sheraton. They do look similar though.

I honestly don't mind the Arkells, because I love the Cons, and if I just close my eyes I can pretend they released a new album.

well yeah.. I didn't think it was the same brand just meant it was the same style... I'm sure its just a coincidence he bought that guitar.

the arkells just sound like that without much tinkering.
or - it's possible they re-recorded the song for the new album with performances that sound exactly like what they did with me. it's hard to tell - and i don't have a copy of their music here to reference.

i can't wait to hear what they do next. they're all super talented dudes... definitely the real deal.

Dan Griffin plays keys (and producer-type) in the band and his solo stuff is rad.

Unfortunately, this seems to be the case. Especially the last time I saw them do a twelve minute version of Arizona.

Ryan, they did re-record this one after the Charlemagne EP. Possibly twice over? I can't check at the moment.

What's "eerie" about this song is that--I believe--the verses are the same two chords from the verses of "Nighttime/Anytime" in reverse order (ie. one song goes B->A and the other one goes A->B). Could be talking out of my butt but I do remember checking this at one point.

That said, I like Jackson Square a LOT as a pop-rock record, though I have some beef with the mix, and kind of regret that this song is on it. It's a bit of a derivative distraction from the better stuff, and -- perhaps deservedly -- tends to monopolize the conversation about the band. Otherwise I don't find they sound so much like the Cons any more, although I used to be pretty up-in-arms about it.

(OK, OK: the beginning of "Deadlines" sounds exactly like the beginning of "Draw Us Lines." And is also track one.)
