That SONS track is sooo good. It also reminded me of Co&Ca a bit too!

If anyone checks out the Mick Malone track, let me know what you think. Interested to hear peoples opinion on this stuff

The Letter You are really good. American Opera is awesome just wish he was less about god.

This. Their first full length came out on Tuesday. It's incredible. They have a free ep called The Genesis Prologue Ep. You can find it on comeandlive. It has that earlier version of that song and two others.

Liking Great Waves.

SONS is definitely worth checking out. Judging by that song alone it sounds like Coheed, Manchester Orchestra, and Anadivine had a baby.

awesome, glad you like it!

As much as I miss Your Best Friend, American Opera is doing pretty well at filling that void. Download that EP NOW!
