Guster are probably the most popular band you've never heard of. Birthed from the frigid loins of Boston's vibrant college rock scene, Guster match glistening pops hooks to intelligent, quirky lyrics in kind of a Violent Femmes-meets-Barenaked Ladies-but-not-really-meant-for-for-your-parents way. And boy, don't they look good in red! Their self-released debut sold 40,000 copies, which means it earned more than the cost of your parents' house, and they manage to sell out theaters despite the fact that their biggest media score was that news story about them getting stiffed for heckling the corporate sponsors at a 2000 music festival. Interest piqued? We have tickets!
Congratulations, winner!
