Tune In Saturdays: Sometimes It Rains
I get those annoying band requests over on the myspace page pretty much constantly. I realize you can turn them off, but I refuse because through all the bullshit crap that I usually get, there's also the occasional gem like Dallas' own, Sometimes It Rains.
I couldn't really find much about these guys past the fact that they go to SMU, and their debut EP was mixed by Mark Pirro of Tripping Daisy and Polyphonic Spree fame. But they get a huge bonus for putting up their first release, Elijah Wood You Please Sign Us, for free download on their myspace page, as well as the obvious influence of some of by favorite bands, most notably Built to Spill.
From Flawed Logic:
"I’ve spent the past two hours listening and re-listening to this release, trying to come up with something negative to say. I don’t like being 100% positive because it implies that there’s nothing better that could have been done - that it was a perfect album. Unfortunately for the time being, it’s going to have to stay that way. For God’s sake, they have the entire thing available for download 100% free on their website. Absolutely recommended."
So, it's friggin' free. Go download it. You'll like it, I promise.
