[Over these last few days of 2010, we'll be
presenting our
favorite local songs of the year, counting down from No. 25 to No. 1,
one track a day. Today, we take an in-depth look at song No. 5 on the
list -- and, please, feel free to click after the jump for a stream of the track. Also
after the jump, check out songs Nos. 50-6 in the Top 50 list that will
update as it grows...]

Meanwhile, 2011 seems primed for more success on the road for the fiery live act, which recently announced a three week run on the road with like-minded buzzing blues-rock revivalists Grace Potter & The Nocturnals.
And there's more to come from that song, too: In 2011, it will be placed in a seven-week promo ad for CBS's Criminal Minds.
