Eyes Around - "Right As Rain" (2006)

Eyes Around is a band that is somewhat local to me. That started out in Monroe, LA playing local clubs but shortly thereafter relocated to Huntsville, AL which is now their base of operations. The band have a pretty great sound that I would say falls somewhere along the lines of The Juliana Theory. In 2004 they released a self titled five song EP which featured some great tracks like “Say What You Will” and “Empathy.” In 2006 came their first full length The Voice Inside the Voice. The album includes some upbeat rockers like the opening track “Another Source of Light.” Today’s song doesn’t rock as hard but it’s just a great tune that kind of evokes a little British rock. It’s really hard for me to see why these guys aren’t on a label. They’re easily as good as half the indie crap that gets put out these days. As far as I can tell, Voice is only available at shows or in mp3 format on their Myspace page. While your there, check out “Bloodshot America” a track that wasn’t included on the album but is probably one of their best songs. I’ve had the chance to see them live a couple of times and they put on a great show. As you can see from the poster above, they’ll be in Monroe this Saturday.
