Promise Ring Re-Discovery

My new favorite blog: Berkeley Place!

Not only does he have a full Secret Machines acoustic set, but also a Ted Leo A-Z via mp3s.
Go!

This morning I had my iPod on random and totally fell back in love with The Promise Ring. They were a favorite of mine back in college and to this day, act as some sort of an unspoken major influence on most of the emo that's out now.

Here's one of their best tracks: "Skips A Beat (Over You)"

In other news, as Brooklyn Vegan pointed out, Stars and The Stills will be at The Siren Festival (amongst others, full line-up to be announced soon - update Art Brut and Dirty On Purpose just added!). Yay!

Here's another new Stills track for you: "Halo The Harpoon" (yousendit)

Didn't I tell you it was fantastic?
Another teaser mp3 by the end of the week, promise.
