Holy shit, here's something I never thought I'd see on this site! Blue Mountain are great. I used to live ~15 min from the town they're named after up in northern MS haha

I happened upon them playing at Southern Miss before a football game and was stoked out of my mind. They're a state treasure.

For sure. Saw them at Doubledecker Fest up in Oxford ages ago. I adore this song:
