An acquaintance introduced me to this band in 2006. But he made a grave mistake. He told me that they'd broken up, which he thought was the case since they hadn't released an album in five years. That was definitely not the case. Anyhow, I liked the songs he sent me, so I bought their first two albums.

One day on the bus ride home, I picked up the SF Weekly, and saw an ad -- Circa Survive and Ours. I thought to myself, "Could it really be Ours?" I did a quick search online, and discovered it really was them, and quickly purchased a ticket for the show. Even though they were the opener, and it was a tough crowd, I couldn't have been happier with what I heard. They were even more exciting to watch live than I'd anticipated.

Since 2006, I've been to over 20 Ours' shows. I've made a lot of changes in my life, and strange as it may seem to some, their music helped me heal. Their latest album, Mercy, brings a powerful message of hope. I encourage everyone to give them a listen. Jimmy Gnecco's vocals and lyrics are amazing, but the entire band has a unique sound that blows my mind.
