A completely kick ass band who isn't afraid to do so. The best band you've never heard of.

A really good, not well-known indie band. Also, the only band I have ever known to feature communist penguins in their music videos.
'Tis true you know. Watch the video for "So Says I".


Really though, The Shins are good.

Way cool. "Know your onion" is a great song.

An amazing indie band. Best band of all time. A great band that became too popular because of Garden State! They currently live in Portland. Albums include "Oh, Inverted World" and "Chutes Too Narrow." (Both are great!)
Me: I love The Shins!
Random 1: Who are they?
Random 2: Oh, I heard them on Garden State!
Me: Fuck.
