We Are Augustines – but why?

Because the two masterminds are born in August, that simple. Billy McCarthy and Eric Sanderson first had a band called Pela, but due to problems with their record company and some familiar issues they decided to start a new project.

Here they are – coming from Brooklyn, New York – bringing us the finest Indie Rock on their debut album “Rise Ye Sunken Ships”.

"The old man turned and scratched his chin
He said "Son I wouldn't know where to begin, but your daddy's gone,
he's gone down south.. It was all he would talk about""

Juarez

It’s packed with intense, pure and electrifying songs, bringing out the roughness of songwriting. It was produced by Dave Newfield, best known for his work with Broken Social Scene.

"On a park bench sat a crimson beating heart
and behind him the girls played double dutch in the park
The sun began to burn his snow white skin
I guess your either headin' somewhere or endin up somewhere..."

Book Of James

This is their first single released in the UK.

They got recognized by a greater audience through the amazing snowboard movie “The Art Of Flight”. (I could write a story just about this outstanding piece of art, even as a non-snowboarder)


Art Of Flight Uno

Art Of Flight Dos

And this is the song from the soundtrack:

"Well there goes my girl
Into the chapel
Now she's walking down the aisle
And it feels just like a mile
And I shake shake shake like a leaf
And I'm lyin' lyin' lyin' through my teeth
I got a pocket full of handshakes
And it don't mean nothin'"

I want to see them live. Do you?
