Eisley is a very talented group of four siblings and one cousin from Tyler, Texas. The band has been playing together for several years but has risen to national popularity in about the last five or so. Most of the lead singing is handled by middle sister and guitarist Sherri Dupree. Her older sister Chauntelle plays guitar and younger sister Stacy plays keys and adds some great harmonies. Their brother Weston is on drums and cousin Garron plays bass. If they were a southern gospel group they would probably have a name like “The Dupree Family Singers,” but thankfully they write great indie rock tunes that dabble in dreamy pop balladry. They released a couple of EPs early in their career and then compiled those songs with a few new ones to create their first full length Room Noises which came out in 2005. The band released their stellar sophomore record Combinations last August. They sound decidedly heavier both musically and lyrically on songs like album opener “Many Funerals” and lead single “Invasion.” Today’s song is definitely my favorite from the album. “Taking Control” starts off with a schoolyard melody that wastes no time before launching into the most explosive chorus on the album. Eisley made great strides between their debut album and Combinations and considering that the average age in the band is only 22, they should be making even greater strides for years to come.
