So many things about TAB made me a fan... The profound nature of their songs. Their original, rollicking sound, where you can hear their diverse musical influences, but they make it all their own. Their fearlessness and skill in expressing deep emotion and tackling complex subject matter. Their tremendous talent -- with a lyric, a melody, a composition. Their stunning musicianship. Their cohesiveness as a group. Their spirit. Their grace. Their love of what they do. And most especially, the joyful, wild abandon in their live shows... where magic and transformation are spread to every member of the audience.
