The Great Eight - July 12th

Today's great eight songs come from six "the" bands and two bands that are "the $*!+". It just worked out that way, so enjoy these feel good, foot tapping jams. Comment me up and tell me what you think about them! Piece

The Young Knives - Turn Tail
~ a head bobbing, 80's-feel video diddy from these UK boys off Superabundance via Trangressive Records
The Vibrants - First Move
~ another UK band heavy on the indie pop with this rock out song from the Incoming EP released independently
The Hold Steady - Sequestered In Memphis
~ these Brooklyn rockers deliver a Springsteen-inspired rock tune from Stay Positive via Vagrant Records
The Song Corporation - Just Like Us
~ one of the two mp3's available on their website from the hoppy, danceable, trumpet rock on Pirates! via their website
The Lodger - The Good Old Days
~ a jaw-jabbin', UK band who preaches "positive soul vibes" in this song from Life Is Sweet via Slumberland Records
The Weakerthans - Civil Twilight
~ a Winnipeg folk rock band with punk rock roots delivers this song from Reunion Tour via Epitaph
