My friend Darin told me about a band he’s been following from Des Moines (my hometown). They’re called The Envy Corps. He said they are known for their big atmospheric sound, attracting comparisons to Radiohead, Aqualung, the Verve, and the Doves. They just finished a tour with The Killers and were recently singed by Mercury Records. Pretty big stuff for a band from Iowa!
Anyway, as we were talking I realized that two of the band members, Scott & David Yoshimura (brothers), were in my youth group at church growing up.
I checked out the band online today. They are incredible. Unfortunately you can’t buy their music in the US yet, but their full-length album is on its way. Really looking forward to it!
Paul, you want to get together for a lunch sometime when i get back to school? i just started reading your blog.
