The Damnwells "No One Listens To The Band Anymore" is my most anticipated release of 2011. I pledged to help fund their album within 24 hours of them announcing it. So far everything I have heard has exceeded my expectations. Paste Magazine is featuring a new video AND free download of the song "The Great Unknown" today. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen.
If you like what you hear, go here to preorder the album & help out The Global Fund. There's a bunch of pledge exclusives (songs, videos, pledger-only ustream concerts) that are definitely worth it.
If that's still not enough, I believe their last record is still available as a free download on the band's website. And if you have netflix, add their rockumentary "Golden Days" to your queue. It's heartbreaking and fantastic.
