This is a band I’ve been listening to for a while. I don’t remember where I heard them because at the time I was didn’t care where it was coming from, I just wanted something new, however I had seen them in many a blogs. I guess they are blogosphere darlings. Anyway, I thought about posting here, but then I decided not to because I’m lazy 🙂 This band is getting pretty popular it seems. Even being named one of the ten best new bands for 2008 by Rolling Stone. Their debut EP “Wizard of Ahhhs” is available for free download. I decided instead of posting the single that seems to be heard anywhere these guys are written about, I’m gonna post the one I listened to over and over.
About the band: They are from Jacksonville Florida and if your a fan of the cure or bands of the like, you will probably warm up to these guys. I can’t say I’m a particular fan of the genre. I mean, it’s got a special place in my heart, but I’m not all over it. But I completely warmed up to this band and I enjoyed all 4 songs off the EP. The band members consist of Ali and Reggie Youngblood (bro and sis) Ali on keys and Reggie is lead vocalist and guitar. Also, Dawn Watley whom they say is the most musically talented of the bunch. And Owen Holmes on bass and Kevin Snow on drums. So yeah, I like this band and have finally decided to make an entry here. Hope you enjoy! Ok so here are the links you need to follow to get some info and what not.
