Options (for fans of Pedro The Lion, Owen, Jimmy Eat World)

[smeguy]

hey, I have a band called options and would be really excited if any of you check it out! I've been compared to Pedro The Lion, Owen, and Jimmy Eat World most frequently so that's why I put that. I am probably influenced most by Joan Of Arc and Rx Bandits related groups, as well as Okkervil River and Damiera.

I have an album out called Fragments, it has my louder, electric music on it. I'm working on another full length which should be out in december or january, it doesn't have a name yet. The songs on that one are more stripped down, and will have only acoustic drums, acoustic bass guitar, and acoustic guitar (and voice, duh). I put up a demo online, and its called "Let's Stay Up Forever"

[screamoutmyname]

is your name derived from the pedro the lion song?

[smeguy]

Indeed it is. Control was the first PTL album I ever got and I love their music very much, so I thought it'd be fitting to use their song name for my band name.

[screamoutmyname]

nice! my favorite is definitely "achilles heel," but recently i've been listening to "control" quite a bit.

i saw pedro the lion and owen in your "sounds like" section and had to check you guys out.

pretty good stuff, man. keep it up!

Thanks for checking out my stuff!! I honestly don't remember, it's a possibility. I wrote that when I was 17, and I'm now 20, so my memory may not be so accurate. Please feel free to give my music to anyone who will listen!
