Ex-Fairweather/Brand New Disaster

[Jon Foucart]

Former Fairweather guitarist/vocalist Peter Tsouras and drummer Shane Johnson have formed a new band called Olympia (http://www.myspace.com/olympiaband) alongside former Brand New Disaster vocalist Phil Williams. The Richmond, Virginia-based quartet (also featuring the unimonikered "Nick" on bass) recently wrapped up recording their demo and have posted two songs from it, "Bastogne" and "It's Okay To Eat The Dead (Times Are Tough)," on their MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/olympiaband) page for both streaming and download. The band promise to post more songs, as well as information on their first shows, in the near future.

i miss fairweather so much.. lusitania is my favorite record of all time.

Probably their worst album, though.. but they were all good.

RIP This Day Forward, as well. I always thought TDF + Fairweather would combine.

brand new disaster had something going for them too. i got to check them out this past summer in jersey. some really nice guys.

[CalamityRecords]

sounds nice.

[onxpoint]

these songs rule. they remind me of a more pop engine down, which is obviously an awesome thing.

mall rock for grownups.

i will let you have your opinion.. but i think it is leaps and bounds better than if they move... i think there is so much on it to appreciate.

i agree. i think musically it blows 'if they move..' away. they definitely took things to a whole new level with 'lusitania'. i personally like 'if they move...' better though, just because the album has more personal value and history for me.

Fairweather was fucking incredible. Rest In Peace.

very true, this stuff isnt bad, but not anywhere near what fairweather was

i cant help but feel the vocals are lacking the rawness of if they move,,. but i still agree with you

[xDinoCorex]

Fairweather's if they move kill them is one of my all time favorite records.

This is really good too.

[onxpoint]

This is good, but I like Midnight Revival much more.

midnight revival is phenominal. baltimore's answer to paul westerberg.

[catscradle]

i'm just counting the days until Jay does something new......but until then this will do plenty.

[jeremywjmf]

was Jay lead singer of fairweather? if not, anyone have any idea what hes up to?

[LifeIsDudes]

When is Jay going to do something?

[phildisaster]

jay actually sings back up on the "eat the dead" song.

but he's got a new band in the works called the color chords. he's looking for a drummer. if you know anyone, please hit me up and i'll get the message to him.
