Weatherbox: Sainthood Reps / Weatherbox split 7″ (Top Shelf, 5/7/13)
“Big News”
California’s Weatherbox has been through the ringer. Member turnover was at one point so dangerously high that you would be forgiven for thinking the band was done. However, since 2011’s Follow the Rattle of the Afghan Guitar, the band has kept a steady lineup, producing indie rock with a touch of rawness about it.
On its split with Sainthood Reps, the band drops “Big News,” with vocalist Brian Warren saying, “This song is about staying in your room for two months, thinking that everybody in the world hates you, and then coming out and realizing you were right.” The track takes an epistolary form, a request to some unseen person, and walks that fine line between indie rock and emotional post-hardcore. Check it out, then go see the band on tour with The Front Bottoms.
theyre doing another tour with bad books and the front bottoms?
#muphemera2013
nothing wrong with them touring with the front bottoms, since their new album is going to be top 5 albums of the year, easily. the new single is so dope.
I really love this song. Perfect.
I heard this song four years ago. Finally. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEAvK8Do3XI
