Why they might be annoying:

    A few members were previously in some local bands that didn't take off.
    They use some of their songs to express political viewpoints.
    Although Simon found a way to back him up musically, Jeremy lost the use of one of his arms.
    They used new age acrobats, jugglers and mime-artists while performing 'Freak Show.'
    Some of them have tattoos.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Their music is somewhat influenced by trip-hop techno.
    They play a diverse selection of instruments.
    They have been described as 'aspiring to be like Celtic Clash, tautly weaving fiddles, banjos with crashing guitars and raw, nasal vocals.'
    They provide links on their website in support of humans and animals that have been wronged.
    They like to convince people through their music that solutions exist.
    Their albums and singles nearly always make it in the Top 10 and their concerts are sellouts.
    The band name derives from Oliver Cromwell's Civil War followers advocating freedom of worship and republican politics.
