Took a listen to these guys after seeing them listed as a "follower" of MMJ on the AMG website.
I'm only into the fourth track, but from what I've heard so far, it sounds great. Hard to say whether or not they've been directly influenced by MMJ. Same but different, even though you could swear Mark Johnson is Jim's not-so-evil vocal doppelganger at times.
