Just so you know, SOTO's very
own weekend columnist John Michael has started the elaborate process of
putting together a snazzier, Wordpress-enhanced version of this site.
We've already worked out a design that I'm really happy with, but I thought
that before we got too deep into things I would offer up the chance for you
good people to throw out any recommendations. Discuss! As for
today's ramble, it's all about the Sammies. I was pretty bummed out
when I didn't get a chance to see one of their supposedly incredible live
performances at SXSW, but hopefully with a new album ready to go they'll be
touring all over soon. Keep an eye out for the sure to be good
Sandwich on September 23 via MoRisen. Enjoy.
:The
Sammies - Glisten:
If you caught my post on these guys the last time around
then I think you'll be happy to know that their sound is
still raw, full of energy and as catchy as can be. I
mean, it's literally everything you could want from a
driving rock tune that's a perfect fit for car rides and
summer excursions. Fully expect this to be the kind of
gem that you instantly have a good time with.
I
probably should have went with the live video of Falling
Out so that you can see why I wanted to catch them at
SXSW so badly, but this one for Coming Out Wild
sounds so much better. Plus, I find it hilariously
weird that the performance was done on some show for Fox
News.
