We Are Augustines: NPR Interview

Take a listen to this interesting interview with We Are Augustines' lead singer Billy McCarthy from NPR All Things Considered. Highly recommend picking up their album, "Rise Ye Sunken Ships", one of my favorites of 2011.

SOTD: "Book Of James" - We Are Augustines

SOTD: "Chapel Song" - We Are Augustines

When I first heard this track, I felt like I already knew this band even though I didn't recognize the name. Turns out I did.... kind of. Brooklyn-based We Are Augustines includes ex-Pela members Billy McCarthy and Eric Sanderson. I loved Pela and was disappointed to hear they were breaking up last year. HERE'S a review with a clip from one of their shows I caught at Mercury Lounge in 2009.

Anyways, happy these guys are back working on new material. They will release their debut album, "Rise Ye Sunken Ships", this summer. In the meantime, check out this great new tune, "Chapel Song".
