The Gutless Wonder Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) Just thought I would give a shout out to Now It's Overhead who I saw supporting Idlewild in March last year. They're a band from Georgia, USA and I would describe them as REM meets a British Indie band such as British Sea Power. (Not quite as kooky as BSP but you get the idea!). Songs are very beautiful and anthemic, especially Let The Sirens Rest from their Dark Light Daybreak album. Website for the band is www.nowitsoverhead.com. Think they've done around three albums and would probably go down quite well in Britain if they had more exposure over here.

Farin Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I would describe them as REM meets a British Indie band that alone makes me want to check them out any particular tracks I should pay attention to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gutless Wonder Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 The song I mentioned on my first post Let The Sirens Rest is excellent. Would have liked to have got some more of their records but didn't have enough cash with me at the gig. Haven't got round to checking on what they're up to via the internet at the mo'. Probably will now! All the songs on the album I have are really good, here's some of the song titles - Believe What They Decide Estranged Walls Nothing In Our Way Night Vision Meaning To Say Let Up Type A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I wanted to go through you list, but that didn't work to well (as with availability) I listened to "Walls" that was okay, "Wait in a Line" but I liked "Hi" and "A skeleton on Display" too (the last one reminds me "Violent Past" by Low btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
