This was originally posted several weeks ago but since the record is here at last I’m putting it up again.
In the interest of saving time I’ll get right to the point. The Reigning Sound may be my favorite band. I’m not just talking about current bands, punk bands, garage rock bands or any other category you want to put them in; I mean favorite band ever. You can name another band and I’m pretty sure I like The Reigning Sound more.
As you can imagine I was very happy to recently discover that they have a new record called Love & Curses coming out in July (IT’S OUT TODAY!). Some songs have already been made public and here’s a promo clip that may be the three best minutes of your day:
Full versions of the songs are posted here. The new record will be available from the fabulous In The Red Records.
UPDATED P.S. – Dear Reigning Sound, Please come to Los Angeles so I can see you. My wife says that if you play in LA you can stay at our house and she will cook for you. Here is an example of her cooking if it helps.
Yes, plz.
Ted Leo and Craig Finn are going to be vexed. I will trust you and check it out.
It is good, very good.
Um, can I stay at your house next time I’m in LA?
Nina, that food looks goooood (and I don’t even eat meat or wheat)
Sure you can as long as you are kind to our dog.
