Some if not all of them live in my town.
One of the guitarists is the stupidest bartender I've ever seen.

Total indie-rock douches.

Crap
Crappitty
weedly-weedly Craptastic.

there are so many great/easy ways to make fun of this kind of band but you've done a pretty shitty job doing it.. sorry to call you out on it but you've obviously not even listened to the music if you think it sounds like an attempt to imitate isis or neurosis. looking at your blog it looks like you'd probably like Black Tar Prophecies... but maybe your impression of a stupid-looking bartender should outweigh your ability to judge music by listening to it. ..not sure... just saying..

That is all.

I can't really picture you at a Van Halen show...uh...ever.

Are you kidding? Van Halen in 1978? Awesome. Anytime much after that they started to blow but early on they were downright pioneering.

Just listening to Burning Off Impurities for the first time. Not Crap!

Uh..Johnny-come-lately here...

Just found Grails browsing the Southern page and spent the next half hour listening to their MySpace page. Is Burden of Hope the new one? I liked the track I heard off Red Light.

Throw me a recommendation.

Burden Of Hope is from 2003.
It's really good, but so are Burning Off Impurities and Take Refuge In Clean Living.
Those are the three I have.
