Who? Sundials
Where are they from? Richmond, VA
What do they sound like? Power pop/punk goodness! Man, these guys remind me of someone and I just can not put my finger on it exactly. I’ve been racking my brain and going through old CDs but to no avail. Oh well, I will figure it out eventually and all you need to know is that this is great stuff either way. I could tell by the band’s influences that I was gonna love them…”The Lemonheads, Dinosaur Jr, Jawbreaker, The Weakerthans, Husker Du…”, I mean, c’mon!
If you dig modern stuff like Cheap Girls, Failures’ Union or Tin Armor you can add Sundials to your list of favorites.
The band’s first six songs are available for free download from If You Make It. And of those six, the first three songs will be released as a 7″ on Impermanent Records which I will definitely be purchasing!
I LOVE the first 6 songs. Can’t wait to hear more from these guys. I’ve been listening to it almost non-stop since downloading it from IYMI. Good write up, Will!
“Man, these guys remind me of someone and I just can not put my finger on it exactly” – halo fauna or failures union? regardless, really solid band!
i think it’s an older pop/punk band. i’m gonna go through some old records this weekend to try and jog the old memory.
Kind of…Promise Ring-ish, sometimes
“Christmas Day” reminds me of MTX.
