There is a new ad where two guys decide to split the costs of a road trip - one pays for food and the other for gas. That is the way they end up pitching the car - I think a Ford Focus: the cost of the gas is “so low” that the guy who paid for food asks to pay for gas next time. Yux galore.

However, the music for the spot _is_ good - straight up garage rock-sounding stuff…how do I figure how what the band/song is?

Thanks in advance for any tips!

And per Wikipedia one of the guys in Radiohead calls them “the greatest band in the world”?

That’s it- you da best!

I have their latest CD - Because of the Times - so I supposed I should’ve figured out it was them…
