Tour presale has started password is EVILFRIENDS

I'm not sure what the deal is with the 9:30 Club on 6/8. I've tried to contact the band and 9:30 Club on twitter but there is another act booked there that night and that's the only show you can't purchase tickets for.

I've listened to Satanic Satanist once or twice along with a few other songs and thought they were a pretty good, straightforward pop/rock band...

But I just saw them at Irving Plaza. DAMN. They were so good. I had no idea they had such a committed following too, though I can see why.

Evil Friends has leaked on exystence.net

e_wind · May 28, 2013, 02:12 PM

Awesome. I've been checking often. Surprised how close to release date it is honestly

kotchishm · May 29, 2013, 09:35 AM

It's so freaking good. Not often does a band exceed expectations, especially how high they were for this one. Just awesome.

e_wind · May 29, 2013, 11:40 AM

I'm about to listen for the first time

e_wind · May 29, 2013, 06:25 PM

Yeah they did it again, different lineup and all. I still like the last one more I think, but this is good stuff.

e_wind · May 30, 2013, 11:23 PM

This one definitely doesn't hit me like mountain did, but it's good. The one about modern Jesus and the antiwar song are amazing

I'm loving Creep in a T-shirt.

Their body of work puts them in my top 5 favorite bands of the 21st century, maybe top 3.

Yeah it's a great song. I'm loving the record in general. Every time I listen I fall in love with a different song.

Cool version of "Sea of Air"

Digging the new album, but unsure quite how much. I didnt listen to PtM before ITMITCloud and that album hit me like a ton of bricks. My favorite album of 2011 in all likelihood. Not sure if I was expecting them to improve on that or what, but backtracking to Satanic Satanist and American Ghetto, ITMITC still blows the others away to me.

With the new one, I think the biggest thing to me so far is the opening. Plastic Soldiers doesnt feel like an opener, and between that, Creep, and Evil Friends the start just feels muddied. For me, the album really takes off with Modern Jesus and flows great from there.
