Why they might be annoying:

    Their first album, 'Paloalto' was such a failure and disappointment that James didn't want to contend with it. He wanted to shut down everything and never do it again.
    James is the only original member of Paloalto still remaining in the band.

Why they might not be annoying:

    The band was named after the preschool James went to.
    They have been compared to a variety of different bands including U2, Radiohead, Rooney, Muse and Travis.
    James began writing songs when he was in Elementary school.
    Their musical influences are My Bloody Valentine, Pink Floyd and Beach Boys.
    Their music is a real big hit with critics and celebrities.
    Scott Weiland said about them, 'They are a beautiful lush adventurous pop hybrid with something much need in music today, passion.' Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray said, 'The first brilliant album of the millennium' about 'Heroes and Villians' and Fred Durst said about them, 'Paloalto is a real band with a real sound and real songs.'
