While listening to The Sweaters' stylish discography, you wouldn't notice that the artists behind the music are merely fresh out of junior high.

This group of youngsters transcends the comforting and familiar sounds of Weezer, Car Seat Headrest and The Flaming Lips on their debut album, "Focus and Ask Again."

The student-made band includes brothers Henry and Ben Cohen playing alongside young bassist Anders Harms. Their goal? To explore different styles by genre-bending and having fun with their creations.

These Columbia, Missouri natives have been playing as a unit for about two years, and yet, they were able to produce a five-song indie album that you will crave to hear again and again.

According to the four-day long True/False Film Fest, "only one-third of The Sweaters is old enough to drive, and already they are becoming local favorites with their indie power-pop hooks that you couldn't part with if you tried".

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
