Eisley

I saw Eisley in Nashville last Friday, you can read and see a detailed review of my experience on my other blog, Turn Off the Radio. I took video of two of the new songs, 'I Could Be There for You' and 'Invasion'. I then converted them to mp3s, and you can download them below. The quality is poor, but interesting enough to hear the new songs. Here you go: Eisley- I Could Be There For You & Invasion

Jeremy Enigk

If you are like me, you are probably hoping that I am posting new Jeremy Enigk material from his upcoming solo album. Unfortunately, no, I haven't heard any of it. It is coming out "soon", whatever that means. There is a very informative article about this new album from the mastermind behind Sunny Day Real Estate and The Fire Theft found on Billboard. What I am posting is four "rare" songs that people often ask me about. As you probably know, a few years ago Jeremy Enigk composed the soundtrack for the film, United States of Leland. Four songs were posted on the website and were available for free download because the soundtrack was never released. The four Jeremy Enigk songs you can download below are: Ballroom Don't Go Racing Set It On Fire One and One is One Jeremy Enigk- United States of Leland

Lovedrug

This post isn't really about Lovedrug, but their name demands much more attention than the band I am going to post about, Kerith Ravine. Most of you probably don't have a clue who they are. They are barely mentioned in the Lovedrug biography on their website, and you aren't going to find out much by searching for "Kerith Ravine" on Google. The basic information is that Kerith Ravine is the former band of two of Lovedrug's members, Adam Ladd and "singer/songwriter/guitarist/keyboardist" Michael Shepard. While Lovedrug has more of a Coldplay feel (yet much harder), Kerith Ravine sounds like a mixture of Smashing Pumpkins/My Bloody Valentine/Sunny Day Real Estate, three bands I adore. Lovedrug released their debut album in 2004, "Pretend You're Alive." However, there is much work that precedes this album. For one, the Lovedrug "Rock N Roll" EP, and three Kerith Ravine releases: 1999's "Drafting Sessions" EP, 2000's "Streams of Jettison" LP, and 2001's "Lined Up in Pairs We Wait" EP. The only one I can find any mention of online is the LP. I was looking for the cover images, and couldn't find those either, so I took some rough shots myself: Kerith Ravine also had one additional song appear on Deep Elm Records Emo Diaries Volume 5. In the two download links below you will find all of Kerith Ravine's songs plus two Lovedrug tracks from the previously mentioned EP. One song from that EP,"The Narcoleptic", is available on iTunes, but two others "Skeleton Jill" and "Goodbye Blue Fly" cannot be found anywhere. Kerith Ravine- The Streams of Jettison Kerith Ravine- The EPs Let me know if you guys are enjoying this stuff, not sure how many of the things I post are actually being downloaded. Also, if you have any requests for music pass those along. I am not going to post anything that can be bought, but for anything rare or out of print I will do my best.
