As Tall As Lions
High school friends Dan Nigro (vocals, guitar, piano), Saen Fitzgerald (guitar, drums), Brian Fortune (guitar) and Cliff Sarcona (drums) founded the band in December 2001 as they were looking to continue the momentum of a previous project. Saen said, "We felt we were onto something good and despite member lineup changes, we felt we had something worth pursuing." The band was already at work on the songs "Dancing in the Rearview," "A Fighting Word," and "And The Wick Burnt Black" and decided to put together an EP, utilizing these songs, but re-recorded vocals and guitar.
Our other great artists:
Iron and wine
Samuel Beam (born July 26 1974), better known by his stage and recording name Iron & Wine, is an American singer-songwriter. He has released four studio albums, several EPs and singles, as well as a few download-only releases, which include a live album (a recording of his 2005 Bonnaroo performance). He tours with a full band.
Beam was raised in South Carolina before moving to Florida to attend school and now resides outside of Austin, Texas. The name Iron & Wine is taken from a dietary supplement named "Beef Iron & Wine" that he found in a general store while shooting a film.
Band of Horses
Band of Horses, previously known as Horses, is an American indie rock band formed in 2004 in Seattle by Ben Bridwell and Mat Brooke. Joe Arnone joined the band in February 2006. They are currently signed to B-Side Records. The band often draws comparisons to My Morning Jacket, largely due to the vocal similarities between Bridwell and My Morning Jacket lead singer Jim James, the occasional Southern rock tendencies that the two groups have in common, and a penchant for glimmering reverb. Allmusic has compared Bridwell's vocals to early Neil Young and Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips. In 2009, Ludwig Böss (a member of the Swedish band Ray Wonder) joined the band.
Circa Survive
Circa Survive is a experimental rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, formed in 2004. The band consists of vocalist Anthony Green, former singer of Saosin and members of the now-defunct This Day Forward.
Their debut album, Juturna, was released on April 19, 2005 by Equal Vision Records, which received a mixed critical reception. However their second album, On Letting Go, released on May 29, 2007, garnered widespread critical acclaim. Their upcoming album, currently untitled, is expected to be released in early 2010 on B-Side Records as the band has finished their term with Equal Vision Records.
