BBC2 Interview with Augustines



BBC 2 recently posted a great interview between host Dermot O'Leary and Augustines. This is worth a listen and the highlight may be at the 19 minute mark where Augustines cover Phosphorescent's "Song For Zula", one of my favorites of 2013. You can listen to the full interview and performance, HERE.

SOTD: "Nothing To Lose But Your Head" - Augustines

This song was featured in my "Top 50 Songs of 2013" but the official video came out this morning so I wanted to pass it along. Augustines' full album will be out in Early February so keep your eyes peeled for this one. They put on one of the better performances I saw last year, excited for their new release.
