What this list consists of - is music that has inspired us the most to write and record what we do. Attending music history classes as part of our degree - we hope that the right artists are remembered in 50 years time, not just the most publicized ones. These are the best of the best we believe.
Brand New (Jesse Lacey)
Bright Eyes (or Conor Oberst)
Manchester Orchestra (side project Right away, Great captain!)
Alexis on Fire (side project City and Colour)
Thursday
Forgive Durden

This list will be added to.

The Apathy Eulogy - 5/5
The Apathy Eulogy reminds me of everyone I listen to that are actually professional musicians. Their structure, and technical ability is subtly proven throughout their new album - resolved to dream. Not only this, but they are generous, and polite as well. Upon being asked for a review - they offered their whole album for me to listen to.
Two voices guide you through a work that I would describe as a perfect album for a long drive. The evolution of rock and roll over the last 50 years seems to have had a profound influence on these artists - with a not so corny style of doo-wap harmonies and strong bass and drum straight rhythms.
'Summers Eyes' can be heard on their myspace, and this is clearly a song the band is trying to pitch - and so they should - it reflects the album beautifully. It's seemingly effortless transition from section to section goes unnoticed.
'but I know the sound of summer, resonating off these nickel strings, will be a sweet elixir, on the throat of him who's suffering'
I'd have t say one of my favorite things about this band - is the perfectly executed acoustic guitars, and another is the creative percussion's - some you hardly even notice, but each one compliments the piece.
This isn't their first release - so I suggest you check their previous works out as well.
Well done boys.
