Tuesday's Tunes

When your band is noted as being M. Ward's "favorite new band", you know you're doing something right. Quintuplet group Port O'Brien presents a delicious smörgåsbord of sound that is displayed in a free-for-all arena. All We Could Do Was Sing was released in 2008 which prompted mighty touring detail with such groups as Modest Mouse and Delta Spirit. LaundroMatinee recently featured the band with a live three song session.

There isn't a lot that I can say for Wynn Walent other than the fact that I heard of him over on Pop Headwound, and I liked what I heard. The featured song here, The Well Is Always Dry, has a certain Gavin Degraw-ish quality heard in the covering of Hallelujah. But other Walent tracks don't necessarily offer the same, I say this as a good thing.

Blood Bank could easily be the eleventh track from Bon Iver's 2008 album, For Emma, Forever Ago (if you don't own this album, go get it and you won't be disappointed). However, we get to look forward to the track being included on the band's upcoming 4 song EP. The more Bon, the better....I always say!!
