They aren't really a young band the guys are like late 20's and the girl is still in high school. Disturbing. Checked out their myspace and their individual pages as well.

Often they can be (I listen to many artists with similarly cringe-worthy lyrics, as you know) but that verse right there is sort of unexcusable in it's cliched, said better elsewhere obviousness.
