Right Away, Great Captain

My tattoo artist introduced me to this fine young gentleman's music.

Now, I have another hardcore post pending but since my roommate is on WoW and hates when I upload (because the lag kills him) I'm posting this as these albums are already on mediafire.

Anyway, the man has a nice voice and it's pretty relaxing acoustic stuff reminds me a little of Elliot Smith but with more structured guitar work. His albums are supposed to tell the story of a 17th century sailor who catches his wife cheating on him with his own brother. I can't comment on that though, as I actually haven't listened to a full album through yet. I always seem to get distracted...

The Eventually Home (2008)

*He has a new album coming out soon which will complete the story of the sailor so I'll likely append it to this post whenever that happens

Paul Baribeau

So raw. If his songs don't touch you, you aren't human.
Thanks Amy.

(btw his album "Darkness on the Edge of Your Town" is all wicked Bruce Springsteen covers)

Die, Emporer! Die!

I've been pretty much obsessed with this band as of late. I have just ordered their 7" acoustic album from this great website, and will add it to this post if I ever get it converted from vinyl.

Die, Emporer! Die! was a duo from Texas from 2003 to 2005 who played some of the most raw and intense emo I've ever heard, "emo in a screamo manner."
I think the acoustic album is the best, and by the way, the "discography" on the web you find is bullshit. It's just the first 7 tracks from their 9-track demo, this being said I just plain don't have all of their releases.
