Sometimes I’m absolutely stumped about what to write about a particular artist. Complete writer’s block. That’s not the case with Eagle*Seagull. A laundry list of bands they remind me of, and are likely influenced by, are tumbling around in my skull, waiting for someone to just open the door. In this case, I think any one of them would cheapen the listening experience. I will say this: the band’s seven members strong, they’re from Lincoln, Nebraska, and a large majority of our 3hive audience is really going to like them. Props to DoCopenhagen for the tip.
Sharing the sharing.
Like the Beatles with a dose of Queen thrown in for good measure. Well, at least that's what comes to mind for me.
Beatles with Queen? I don't hear it but meh, I don't have a good band comparison…
I like it.
I saw this album at Homers in the Old Market last week. I think I will go back and buy it. Yay for the internet, otherwise I would have never picked it up.
wow! that first mp3 is amazing, I've listened to it at least six times aready. thanks, downloading the album on emusic now.
Hey, you weren't kidding Sean; I really like them!!!!
This is great stuff.
I was sold halfway through the first song. I think I've listened to that one about 5 times today…I think my media player is trying to tell me something!
wow, thanks guys, this is awesome music. lovelovelovelove it. kinda like the arcade fire but with more accordion. or something.
wow.
perfect timing. this fits my mood. wow.
this is fantastic, crisp clean arrangement and addictive vocals. Hope they get the airplay they deserve. A bit sigur ros but understandable and less cut ya wrists
I hear a little Bright Eyes… but maybe that's the crack talking. ? In any case, they are FAB! Love them.
The first song sounds like Razorlight – Golden Touch huh? Eh? I dig it all the same……………
You were right I love it. Thanks for opening my eyes to some great music 3hive.
These guys are incredible! I'm definitely checking them out at their show in Columbus. Possibly my favorite new band of the year, no joke.
I bought the album from papergardenrecords.com and great customer service as well! very cool guys!
I bought this album at the Homer's in Lincoln. I'll be at their show here in Lincoln come Mar 19th.
Thanks.
Yeah. That Your Beauty Is a Knife I Turn On My Throat song is really really catchy. Interesting band.

I'm hearing a lot of influence from Pulp, though that just may be the length of time its been since I last listened to them. Regardless, the band is amazing and I'm excited to hear more.
Great reading, keep up the great posts.
Peace, JiggaDigga
