Arkansas Music Volume One: Tel Aviv

School has been killer lately, and I just haven't felt like posting that much. This is my time now though to introduce some bands from Arkansas that are actually worth you listen. Not to often to I get to actually mention a band that is from Arkansas that others might actually like.


First we have Tel Aviv. This band is one that I have heard about through friends and such as they play shows now and then, One of my High School friends is actually the sister of one of the band members. When I heard the mp3s from their site I was literally blown away that such a great band from Arkansas actually existed and I did not know about them. They have an upcoming date with Apollo Sunshine, who I assume most of you bloggers have heard of, but if not they are really great.

Tel Aviv - About Hysteria [mp3]
Tel Aviv - Black Marketeering [mp3]
I am not kidding. If you are reading this you must download these and tell me what you think in the comments.

Tour Dates:
February 3 Conway, AR @ the Agora with Apollo Sunshine
March 23 Seattle, WA @ the Funhouse
March 24 Seattle, WA @ the Comet Tavern with Tourist

UPDATE: You can buy Tel Aviv's Lay Me Down Ep here.

Rose Hill Drive News

Some info in the email today included a listing of new tour dates and the fact that Rose Hill Drive, a favorite band of mine, have finally signed a record deal and will be releasing an album. The band is reported on signing to Megaforce/Scifidelity Records. They spent the beginning of January recording the album in Atlanta and expect a late spring or early summer release this year. These guys really deserve some more credit. They have an awesome sound, but Pitchfork gave them a bad rap for their trck on the Stubbs The Zombie ST. If you are any kind of classic rock, especially Led Zepellin, fan then do yourself a favor and get into these guys.

Well more of the blogs have caught on and I'm now behind on this, but nonetheless check them out.


They already have an Ep out. So, until their full album you can get that form their site for $10.

We Are Scientists and Morningwood: Today


In celebration of the release of both Morningwood's and We Are Scientists' album releases today I figured a post was in order. There has been some hype over the release of both these cds on the blogs. The talk is that these two bands will be in somewhat of a battle for the indie/label crowds. MOKB predicts Morningwood as the label winner and WAS as the indie winner. He has some mp3s from both bands and also links to other blog commentary.

Well here is a WAS present. Before the singles, new album, and Wolf's Hour Ep WAS released other material including In Action, Safety,Fun, and Learning(In that Order), and Bitching!. I've always wanted to get ahold of these and now here they are. Brought to you by a WAS fanpage the first three releases.(Link)
