Line Out - Comments on Mountain Con http://lineout.thestranger.com/2007/12/mountain_con From this week's Band of the Week column: I get the sense from my fellow Stranger staffers that Mountain Con are not well-liked around here.

Mountain Con Tribute

Maybe 2000, but I'm pretty sure it was the late 90's. They haven't changed much since. Hence, your view of their sound seems entirely accurate. I've never felt too guilty for liking them.
