I did a search for them on Myspace, and voila, there they were. If you want to check out "Phantom Limb", I am sure it is still on their page. Here is the link to their page: www.myspace.com/theshins Jewel,

I do not recall listening to "Phantom Limb", but I might have heard it before. How did you happen to stumble upon The Shins, by the way? As for the MCR reference, I still just do not hear it.

As for the MCR reference, I still just do not hear it.

They kind of remind me a bit of Morrissey meets the Beatles with a new style twist on it. I enjoy their music. I've heard a few songs of theirs before, but I think "Phantom Limb" is my personal favorite. I was trying to hear the similarities of Chemical Romance as well, but I didn’t hear it.

They are such a great band, and so soothing. I would never compare them to My Chemical Romance though, I never really thought about a link there. "New Slang" is an awesome song, if anybody is interested in checking out The Shins. I first heard about The Shins when I purchased the Garden State soundtrack.

Anyways, their musical sound kind of reminded me of My Chemical Romance, and their cover art of something George Harrison like. Hopefully we can see a new compact disk from them sometime soon.
