Well, their music is sort of similar to Blurs (Talking, not singing), Blur are rock, undeniably.
What genre woudl you ahve classed them as?
Read a book or watch a film or something, just don't listen to "stories" by means of cackarse music.
Question - How the hell are they ROCK?
Each song tells a different, smaller part of the overall story and when you get to the end, it's told.
You may not like them, but he's done more than you have.

You just reminded yourself by re-iterating the lyric.
Don't remind me, please.
They aren't wonderful songs and when they begin you want to switch it off.
But it's all about the power of lyrics and story telling.
Anyone who has suffered a nasty break up will know where "Dry your eyes" are coming from. It's a painful reminder on how Love can really really hurt. Listening to Mike's tale of how his heart was ripped to shreds and how awful he felt is very easy to relate to, simplistic lyrics but very well done.
"Empty Cans" off of the new album also convey's a powerful message.
You don't listen to the streets to nod your head and tap your feet... you listen to the streets just to listen... and here what he has to say.
