Why they might be annoying:

    Their music genre is hard to pin down.
    The nucleus of the band formed when Kelvin and Dan found a mutual admiration for old school R&B and Jim Jarmusch.
    Their single 'How You Like Me Now?' was featured in a 2010 Kia Motors Super Bowl ad starring children's toys, coming to life and hanging out in Vegas.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Kelvin's voice was compared to Prince and Curtis Mayfield.
    David Letterman was so impressed by the band's kinetic performance that he asked them to play an encore, a first for the talk show legend (January 2010).
    Their innovative sound, combining rock, neo soul and retro funk, has been described as fun, sexy and rowdy.
