I Heart We Versus The Shark (Tour Dates, New Album, Covers)
It took me a while to get into them, but I have totally fallen in love with the Athens, Georgia outfit, We Versus The Shark. If you haven’t picked up their latest album, Dirty Versions, you are seriously missing out. They are able to combine bravura with brilliant song writing. They rock out harder than most bands, but still keep their work artful.
They have also been releasing a cover song for each month of the year for free here at Quote Unquote Records, that will be put together as an album called Murmurmur when they are done with the project. Their latest additions have been covers of Deerhoof and Radiohead, two favs around these parts. Next week I am going to unleash the videos I took from their Athfest performance that blew me away earlier this year. Also, they are heading out on tour this week with Athens supergroup Pegasuses-XL (featuring members of We Versus The Shark and Cinemechanica), who are pretty badass as well. They are both hitting up Georgia Tech Thursday night.
