I am a fan (and you should be too), because...Their music is great! I first saw Chris on Regis & Kelly show. Ever since then I've been a fan. The music and lyrics are wonderful. It's the first CD i've ever listened to where I didn't have to skip a tract that I didn't like. It's amazing no matter what kind of song, be it hard rock or a slow ballad , the band nails it every time. Also, I think Chris deserves respect for the simple fact as my husband once told me "In the end when all is said and done, the only thing that really matters is family," and listening to Chris talk in interviews about his wife and family-he gets that.
