It's time you got to know 'The Explorers Club'

If you've never heard Charleston-based "The Explorers Club," it's time you did.

Here's, in part, how IMEEM describes them:
Take the homage just far enough that you can imagine yourself experiencing, say, the Beach Boys in their prime, but with fresh songs not tempered by a generation of Sweatin' to the Oldies. This is elation without irony. This is the Explorers Club's debut album, Freedom Wind.

And if you have heard them, and presumably like what you've heard, then you'll want to hop over to The Charleston City Paper for Chris Haire's 2,500-word article on the group that released their first single this year.
