I think it's a template that publicists use:

"In case you've been living under a rock for the past year, I want to introduce you to [Insert Artist Name]."

I thought the iPod ad was catchy. Though they sound very pop it's still nice to listen to.

Peter Robinson has been raving about them since last year.

You would be correct. Here's "Shut Up And Let Me Go" (no official video, though, yet).

THROWDINI!: FYI, in re-reading my comment, it might seem that I was slamming this post/band as unnecessary/unworthy. In reality, I was just referring to the song as being "eh." I like posts like this, that talk about bands on the fringe of public (i.e., my) consciousness.

The song in the iPod ads is called "Shut Up and Let Me Go" though. "That's Not My Name" is... well... not its name.

That's Not My Name is much better for singing along in the car, though.

(I can't remember exactly when I downloaded it.) Its ok. Catchy enough, but nothing to write home (or a blog post) about.
