Great band, not enough love.
Discuss.
I like their split with Manchester Orchestra.
Not really too much of a fan of Be He Me, but it's decent.

Try their EP with Sunfolds. I'll pm you with a link. If you could find me the MO split that'd be really sweet. I've been looking all over for it.
They had it up for download for free on Pitchfork I thought. If I can't find that link, I can up it for you.
You can download the split's tracks here (http://www.hatesomethingbeautiful.com/?p=1332)

I'm impressed you looked that up. I believe at that time I was still going about loving Silverstein as well.

Really really good musicians.
Always do (One of the best songs of the last years IMO)
Are "The Giving Tree" and "Eyes in the Darkness" unreleased songs? I went to see if they had anything from the EP on their Myspace but found these, and to my knowledge they aren't on Sweet Sister.

The new album, Born Raised, is finished and will hopefully be released shortly, according to Facebook. There used to be a demo of a new song on ReverbNation but it's not there anymore which means the record is probably coming out sooner rather than later. But if you want something to listen to now, here's Adam's soundcloud page (http://soundcloud.com/tundrasaurus/tracks) which has a few beats and stuff. The first song sounds like it could be an Annuals demo.
Also, they plan on touring once the album is released and they have apparently parted ways with Anna Spence, the girl who sings and plays keyboard.
