More on the House of Brothers

So beyond studying for my health law final, this weekend will be all about catching up on my reviews that I have promised but haven't delivered upon yet...first up is House of Brothers...I have previously talked about them here.

Over Thanksgiving break my sister visited Seattle and while we were driving around one day I brought some of the new music to review with me to see what she thought...by far her favorite was the House of Brothers EP...In her words David Grey-like lyrics and Damien Rice-like music...and thus began her love for her new favorite band, "Damien Grey."

House of Brothers -- Deadman

House of Brothers -- These Days

Both tracks are from the House of Brothers EP which is available here.

9-1

As Brett Favre (age: 38) battled Vinny Testaverde (age: 44) today it was a match up for the record books as two quarterbacks this close to collecting social security had never met before...The miracle season continued as the Packers wiped the floor with the Panthers...
Up next for Boys in Green, the Lions on Thanksgiving Day...a win would essentially lock up the division title.
And one more thing...yes, that is the typical size of the lunch that kids in Wisconsin eat.
From the 9 album.

From The Beginning Stages Of... album.

From the Nine Black Alps EP.

From the Into the Afterlife album.

Damien Rice -- Rootless Tree

This video version of the song is slightly different than the version on 9...I consider myself a little too manly to like Damien Rice but this song is something else and if he would ditch the paino and play guitar on every song he wouldn't be lumped in the James Blunts of the world...
