Built on a Weak Spot

Man I was all over this new Sleepwall single when I saw it was finally made available, as any chance to hear new tunes from these guys will likely end up with me throwing money in your direction. Some may remember that I was a big backer of their debut single that was released on Toxic Pop last year and with good reason as it was mighty rocking. Is it Factual? definitely doesn’t change my opinion of the bands ability to crank out solid and catchy rock songs. The A-side Tennessee Sun keeps right in line with the sort of Dinosaur Jr./Sebadoh influenced material the band displayed previously, however the B-side takes on a bit more of a different feel as if they were channeling a bit of Codeine if…well…Codeine didn’t play at a snails pace. Whatever it may be, it’s good stuff and absolutely what I was hoping to hear from these guys. Next up will be the Ripe EP that they’ve had in the works for awhile now…although I think you can purchase mp3’s of it through iTunes currently, but I can’t bring myself to do that. I want something I can hold.

Sleepwall – Tennessee Sun [MP3]

For those interested in picking up a copy of Is it Factual? then be sure to check out the Firestarter distro for that. In the meantime, enjoy the tunes.
