The '59 Sound was one of my most played albums of 2008 . I actually handed it out as a christmas present.I kept returning to it over and over it takes a little bit of listening for a band to become your band , however there was no learning curve with these guys . Its just straight out of the gates rock and roll. Lead singer Brian Fallon writes lyrics that take you in and introduce you around his world of heart break , sadness , lost saturday nights . They wear their influences on their sleeve like a badge of honor we have heard this before but its the honest sincerity of Brian Fallon that makes it click . Like the lyrics in the song The 59' Sound starts off with wondering about what song they are going play when you go and culminates with boys and girls ain't supposed to die on a saturday night. With two albums and an ep out it will be interesting to see where these guys go go . Brian just recently stopped by Spin to perform a couple of acoustic tracks . Particularly biting is the cover of paul westerberg's left of the dial . If you dig the acoustic set then Grab the acoustic rarities down below.
