Although the band is fairly new/underground/fresh, they've gotten a lot of recognition after their hit single, "Home," was featured on the television series, Ugly Betty. It's a song that makes many wonder if they're on drugs because of how happy they are, or just really in love. You can hear a trumpet, accodion, and a piano in the mix, as Ebert sings along to his girlfriend, Jade Castrinos. Their romance is clear in the song and in interviews, only sparking more interest and admiration by fans.
Ebert was recently in the rock/pop band Ima Robot, which is quite the contrast with the blazers and short hair he used to wear. He was more trendy, sometimes wore makeup in his music videos, and emulated a singer who was inspired by David Bowie. Today, he posts inspirational quotes on his twitter and takes off his shoes when he dances. Although some might be leery of the band's "Don't drink the Kool-aid" look, the sounds of their voices and instruments break all expectations and prejudices by bringing something raw and organic to the music scene.
