Blog-achella 08: False advertising?

From the pleasant surprise files, here's our next band...

Manchester Orchestra



Who they are: Well, they're not from Manchester, and they're not an orchestra... so WTF are they? A band from Atlanta... barely out of their teens. Doesn't sound promising, but...

What they sound like: ... a very promising young band. See what I did there? Turned that shit around! Writing, bitches! Anyhoo, these guys certainly surprised me. There's a Brit Rock epic-ness to their sound which I totally dig, the songwriting is real solid... my only qualm is the guys voice, but what do you think?

Manchester Orchestra - Where Have You Been? (ysi)




What I think:
Definitely some serious potential here. A band to watch. Maybe even at Coachella!
