I Really Dig Marjorie Fair... A Lot

[Frank Giaramita]

Marjorie Fair (http://www.marjoriefair.com) have put up a new media player (http://www.marjoriefair.com/sampler/) in support of their upcoming album, Self Help Serenade, which hits shelves July 19th through Capitol Records.

Note: Anyone else think this band has the potential to be huge, on a lasting level?

it's good, but i don't know about that video- the field shot is played out, directors and bands should refuse to do it for a while- also, there seems to be alot more people playing in that field than i hear instruments on the track... perhaps its my shitty speakers, but perhaps its not. either way, the songs are still really fucking good.

[quitmyscene]

they sort of remind me of u2, mixed with some other stuff. not a bad thing.

[PaperclipAnemia]

they sound like a travis knockoff

damn frank, what's with you and all the noting?
you have a note on everything.

"and thats why... you always leave a note."
(that was for Gleebo, in the event he reads this thread)

[Wheez]

I agree wholeheartedly.

[OveriseFan]

These guys are really good.

They could definately be a lasting band, I *guess* they're associated with our scene due to technicalities.

[KarateExplosion]

this is a poor man's ambulance ltd.

[finchfan313]

Why?! If someone had left a note, this innocent man would still have his arm!
"and thats why... you always leave a note."

lol.

I agree, they do sound something like Travis.

They sound alot like Travis but definately have some potential with a certain crowd

I like this band pretty good. Whoever made the comparision to U2, I agree his voice sounds similiar to Bono's
