I recommend to set your clock ahead an hour

[crit]

Everyone preorder the Cassino album tomorrow over at merchdirect (http://www.merchdirect.com)!!!

[InaGreendase]

Sound the Alarm is pretty awesome if you like Armor for Sleep clones.

On that note, go listen to Reunion (http://www.myspace.com/reunionband) and try to convince yourself Can't Slow Down isn't being reissued.

I think Sound the Alarm is a good listen, and I'm not a big fan of Armor For Sleep

Has anyone seen them on this tour yet? I'd like to know the set list, as far as new vs. old material goes. I've only seen them acoustically, playing strictly Brother, Sister, so I'd like to hear mainly [A-->B] Life and Catch For Us The Foxes.

The Smiths -- The Queen is Dead
Bright Eyes -- LIFTED or The Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground

I enjoy the Sundowner album although I'm so-so on the production of the vocals...For some reason they really don't sound "right" at times.

[TBSEmoKid]

New Sherwood is fantastic...Also,looking forward to the new William Tell.
