DOA review of Famous Past Lives by Pretty Mighty Mighty

Back in 2000, if you were in Columbus there is a good chance you heard the song "Ski Instructor" blasting from then CD101 at the time off the second album Famous Past Lives by Pretty Mighty Mighty. Here's a bit from an album review back in 2000 by Jeff Marsh at Delusions of Adequacy:
Pretty Mighty Mighty are one of those bands that you feel like you should have heard of long ago. Their style of music is exactly what I was searching for a short time ago when the emo-rock/pop sound was new and fresh to me. (Now I search for all music.) Combining the melodic nature of emo from bands like Mineral and Cross My Heart with a more straight-ahead, blaring wall of guitar sound and some empathic, moving vocals, Pretty Mighty Mighty have crafted a fine rock album. The production is perfect, the songs are different and powerful, and the vocal style fits exactly.
