One thing I love about being in this forum is discovering new bands that people are into... through that I've gotten into a lot of great new music that's out there.
One example is Constantines. I heard the first release, "Working Full Time" from their new album Tournament of Hearts coming out later this month in Canada (and second week of October, I think, in the States). The tune sounds awesome! On their record label's website (Three Gut Records, http://www.threegutrecords.com/index.php) they include a link to John Sakamoto's "Anti-Hit List" podcast in which he spins this track. He gives the band a lot of praise, saying this album comes the closest to them harnessing their live power on disc. He also says something else very interesting... in his opinion it shows "how thin a divide there is between alternative and mainstream rock", and that if you dropped "Working Full Time" in between tunes by the Hip and Bachman-Turner Overdrive (his examples), hardly anyone would notice.
Anyway, I know a lot of people on this forum have checked out and dig this band, but those who haven't should check them out, I think you'll love 'em! :thumb:
