The Resume

    (2001- )
    Formed in Akron, Ohio
    Dan Auerbach, vocalist/guitarist
    Patrick Carney, drummer
    Recorded Albums:'The Big Come Up' (2002) and 'thickfreakness' (2003)
    Recorded songs: 'No Trust,' 'Have Love Will Travel,' 'Everywhere I Go,' 'Hurt Like Me,' 'Brooklyn Bound,' 'Set You Free,' 'Have Love Will Travel,' 'Hard Row,' 'She Said, She Said' and 'Hold Me In Your Arms'

Why they might be annoying:

    When Patrick was asked about performing before he got famous, he said: 'Nothing like being in your own basement surrounded by your own garbage.'
    Recently, they started listening to rap and hip hop.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They started playing together when they were only sixteen/seventeen years old.
    Like The White Stripes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs they manage to perform with no bassist.
    'thickfreakness' was recorded in fourteen hours straight on just one day.
    They're influenced by soul and rock legends including Jimi Hendrix and James Brown.
    People say that Dan has a mature and fine blues voice for someone who is that young.
    Sleater-Kinney asked to open for them on their 2003 winter tour of North America.
    They mix Detroit-sounding Rock & Roll with hard blues rock, making it sound like a mix of artists including The White Stripes, My Morning Jacket and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.
