Their music can be likened to a cross between early-Built to Spill, the range and audaciousness of The Arcade Fire, the organic sensibilities of Ticonderoga and the playful abandon of Deerhoof.
“ And here I thought the days of exuberant indie rock were over ” — so begins a review of Boyhood on the esteemed webzine Coke Machine Glow.

They have released two albums, Boyhood and Scandal, Scandal, Scandal Down in the Wheat Field, and broke up in 2009.
2. Paper Airplanes is a pop-punk band from Sacramento, CA. They have released three singles so far: Doors, Beer, and Tinder.
