One thing usually leads to another here and that’s just what happened after this week’s post on Two Fingers Of Firewater. I compared them to the British band The Tailors. I later checked in on the band and learned they’re prepping a new record called Come Dig Me Up – the follow-up to 2007′s acclaimed debut Wakey Wakey (I wrote glowingly about the band here and here).
“What You Say” is listed on The Tailors MySpace page as an outtake from the Come Dig Me Up sessions. If this is indeed an outtake than this record is going to be one to die for. The song harnesses all the energy of Uncle Tupelo, Social Distortion and Sun Volt and then manages to incorporate all these great harmonies and melodies in the chorus. It’s abrasive and soothing at the same time; a real gem. The new record will be out sometime in 2008 but you can (and should) order Wakey Wakey here now.
