kirbypuckett Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Have any of you heard of this band? I first caught wind of them last year based on a much hyped demo. They just put out their debut record and it's pretty damn good. I don't expect a ton of people on here to really like them, but I've heard from a handful of people yesterday that were enjoying the album that I didn't think would either. The guy in the band, Derek Morris used to be in Poison the Well. You can stream the album here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=126667481 "Crown on the Ground" is a great jam. I saw them live a month or two ago and they were really really good. If you ever go see them bring like 8 pairs of ear plugs, you'll need them.

scottheisel Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 This record is sooooooo good! I didn't expect to like it, but it has been all I've been listening to for the past day straight, practically. (Also, resize that damn photo!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I loved the demo, so I'm pretty stoked to check this out. Will do later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akross Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Record is amazing, makes me even more pissed that I waited too long to get tickets to see them and Yeasayer last month. Been listening to it a ton since yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monk0nuggets Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 They played here a few weeks ago and I skipped out because I wasn't feeling like going to a show. I'm sure it would have been fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjg12590 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Straight A's is such an awesome track. Kind of wish they would have kept the 3 or 4 slower ones off though. Great stuff regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 "sleigh bells" used to be the title of Derek Miller's music blog, way back in the day. I figured from the thread title this had something to do with him. Decent enough dude, I used to talk to him online. I haven't been able to check this out yet, but knowing what he's really into, I can imagine what it sounds like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheresmyjuice Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Man, fuck pic discs. I agree but I believe that's the only way they are offering the album at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxmartinxx Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 This is my latest guilty pleasure. I'm tempted to buy it, but $20 is a bit much for something that I'll probably tire of it in a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxmartinxx Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 My one year old son loses his shit to "Crown on the Ground" like I've never seen him do so. He gets on all fours, jumps around, head bangs... it's pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 it's catchy...but wayyyy too electronic for my taste. definitely not something i can handle much of at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
