ok, lol, whether midtown sounds like sugar cult or not, when a band comes out..and, they display a certain vibe/sound, then, shortly thereafter, another band comes out, w/a simular vibe & sound, it's not because the latter band was influenced by the first one, it's because the record industry had success w/the first one, and so they send the scouts out to find more that $ound the $ame...think about it, both bands, by the time they come out, had been crafting their sound, probably for years, SEPERATE from eachother...all the public sees though is two bands coming out that sound alike..but, as much music as there is out there, there will always be bands that sound simular who aren't even aware of eachother's existance
