British Sea Power

Sometimes I think I have a very stupid sixth sense, I seem to know when beloved bands put out new releases - without seeing any press or receiving fan emails. Earlier this fall I went on iTunes looking for anything by Josh Ritter, and his album the Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter had just come out.

This past Sunday I went looking to see if the Brighton-based band British Sea Power had anything new. I got their EP Krankenhaus? from the fall, only to find out that they released their newest full-length album, Do You Like Rock Music? on Monday in the UK. But it won't be in the US until February 12th. Even better than a new album is the fact that they will be in town for a concert March 27th.

I guess I will wait to hear the album, I'm very excited for the song Great Skua because of my time in Antarctica being dive-bombed by skuas.
