Mission Control

VINYL INCLUDES CD VERSION TOO! Mission Control, produced by Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith) is a confident collection of songs that follows up the band's self-released / self-financed album, Give 'Em All a Big Fat Lip, which caught the attention of many, including Rolling Stone Magazine who declared the Athens GA three-piece "the best unsigned band in America." Sonically superior to anything the band has recorded to date, Mission Control is an album jam-packed with infectious melodies and dynamic rhythms. The urgency of opening track "Like A Vibration" knocks over the listener with a roaring attack of guitars, while "Production City" combines a dancing bass line over machine gun tight rhythms. Julian Dorio is a staple throughout, but on the soon to be anthem "Right Hand on My Heart", Dorio's playing makes it evident why Esquire Magazine named him "Drummer of the Year" in 2007.
