Theatricality without pretense, virtuosic musicianship somehow stuffed into catchy rock anthems, and acidic social and political commentary straight from the front lines of collective action.

Countless Thousands are (is?) Danger, Light, Nic and Kevin. They’ve been doing this for forever. They might play indie rock, or geek rock, or punk, or 'Theatrepunk' (probably their favorite label), or dirty rock & roll or some fuzzed-up gypsy-jazz-rock but at the center of that genre hurricane is a technical understanding, a lyrical prowess and an enthusiasm that cannot be denied. These nerds love what they do and they relish the opportunity to celebrate the stuff they love every chance they get. Besides, why settle for songs about getting your heart broke when you can write a song about your drummer being shot into space to defeat Astro-Hitler?
