Relient K put out the first taste of their upcoming album, The Birds And The Bee Sides.
I promised myself I wouldn't be a fan of the new material. I promised myself that it wouldn't be the same after Dave Douglas' departure.
It's not. Everything is great besides the drumming. Nothing against Ethan Luck, the man is an excellent drummer and an awesome guitarist. But I'm too used to the Relient K sound. With Dave.
That said, I'm delighted and disappointed with the new track. It's awesome, that much is obvious, and it's good to see the boys from Ohio didn't break stride with the percussion change.
I'm looking forward to the stuff.

Just goes to show how much drummers can make or break a group. A lot of the times it's not so much if they're good or not, more rather if they know hot to get everyone else in the pocket and bring it all together. Everyone wants to be a rock drummer, but not too many people want to be a percussionist, ya know?
cool post, interesting take on the group. I gotta check 'em out. Hook us up a review when the full length comes out or whatever it's going to be.
cheers.
