I'm checking them out on myspace now - if we had smileys here I'd be posting a great big grin to show my reaction to We Intertwined
just triggered a bout of dancing round the room - and it's just calling out for air drums. 
I hear a bit of ELO Mr. Blue Sky in the drums/piano rythm
another song I can't place.
there's another band they sound like on this song also in the genre of catchy goofy indie pop but I can't work out who.
I don't really like Panic! or Fall Out boy much but this lot sound good.
Don't Wake Me Up - sweet serious female vocals then the quirky music & male singers kick in
suggestion of Ben Folds Five and the Beatles (have you seen the little piggies)

Wine Red - instant attention grabbing start from the female singer "Who shot that arrow in you throat? Who missed the crimson apple?" witchy vibes to the tune
shame her vocals then start sounding sterotypically PATD!/Fallout Boy (pseudo)emo
but sort of redeemed by the heavy piano and guitar that comes in and the boys - shame they sound like Maroon Five.  Alright song but would be much better with more origanall/less whiny vocal melody.
Momentum - tender ballard/love song deep vocals bit cliched emo lyrics  "you are the scar on my tissue "
like this one music still good when it gets rockier (nice piano)
if only the vocals were more heartfelt not somebody trying to be Editors, but failing & just ending up like Blink 182 I miss you.
