APPLESEED CAST
"Formed in 1997 in Los Angeles, Appleseed Cast released its first record, The End of The Ring Wars, a mere six months after forming. Looking for greener pastures, the band relocated to Lawrence, KS in 1998 and began endlessly touring in the United States and Europe for the next five years. Through the bands next five releases on Deep Elm, they underwent several line-up changes. After releasing the critically acclaimed Low Level Owl series, they began to capture the eyes and ears of new fans, especially Tiger Style Records. The quintet features Christopher Crisci (guitars, vocals), Aaron Pillar (guitar), Marc Young (bass), Josh Baruth (drums), and Jordan Geiger (keys). Citing influences as diverse as Creedence Clearwater Revival and The Sex Pistols, Appleseed Cast is ready for you to sit up and take notice."

MINUS STORY
"One of Lawrence's most distinctive voices is Minus Story, a five-piece fronted by the rawboned voice and frame of Jordan Geiger (also the former keyboardist for The Appleseed Cast). "No Rest for Ghosts" is the band's fourth full-length and second for the Bloomington-based Jagjaguwar label (also home to current tour-mates Okkervil River). Like most Jagjaguwar artists, Minus Story plays an adventurous brand of music that both endears them to loyal fans and precludes a quick rise to notoriety. That's not to say the band is inaccessible - they just require a bit of investment.
The album's foundation is a bunch of perfectly hummable folk songs peppered with existentialist lyrics."

THE RUM DIARY
"The California quartet weld together a hearty helping of of double percussion with deep swathes of melodious bass guitar, atmospheric guitars and keyboards, and gentle male vocals to create impressionistic indie rock of epic proportions. Like the groups to which they are most often compared - Mogwai, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Three Mile Pilot, Pinback, Tristeza, etc. - The Rum Diary excels at constructing mood music more than "proper" songs."
