They are getting crossover appeal to people who never listened to a banjo. High School kids like my son and daughter are big fans.
So that's good as far as I am concerned.

I never said they weren't good. I like them just fine. And if you listen to WBRU (it's on in my office all day since I took the Ipod home), you'll hear them several times a day, every day. They also play them on Sirius radio on the alternative and pop stations all the time. It reminds me of when Ben Folds Five got popular for a while, or the Squirrel Nut Zippers. They play catchy tunes with good lyrics and are just different enough to be considered alternative as opposed to straight up pop.
