You know, I was really tempted to just give up on New Band Day today and ask (if there’s anyone out there reading this) for some suggestions. I know it’s because I haven’t had the time to browse around until I find that great new band that must be out there, but I haven’t been very inspired by anybody I’ve come across lately. Most of the bands I’ve checked out in the last few months have felt, well, sort of generic.
But I did run into The Bishops, who I’m enjoying very much. I’m ashamed because I should’ve known about these guys a while ago, it seems, but better late than never. They’ve got an Early Beatles-y thing going on, which I find oddly comforting. But with a little current indie attitude thrown in for good measure. That’s my take on it anyway. Plus, those twins are both adorable and a little creepy, at least in the above photo – or is it just me?
Their second single, “The Only Place I Can Look Is Down” was out a few weeks ago, but you can listen to it on their myspace page. Or check out their tour dates and whatnot on their official site.
