This Ain't Vegas - Black Lung Captain : lp
"Well what can I say... Inspiring? Brilliant? just plain rocking!?
... basically its jangly upbeat as fuck post punk type stuff, it rocks in a way like Burning Airlines but has that cool catchy but wierd feeling of the early Post Punk; Gang of Four and Mission of Burma... but TAV dont sound like any of these bands directly. The second side opens with a snotty garage rock kinda thing which goes into this awesome catchy post punk tune, this album just keeps getting better as it goes along! " (Collective Zine)

"That this nauseatingly young four piece were rumoured to be releasing a split with DC’s own Q and not U – the Dischord records outfit that are, in this writer’s estimation, one of the world’s most brilliant bands – is testament to their calibre. And yep, ‘The Black Lung Captain’ is as accomplished and spellbinding a debut album as 2003 is likely to yield.

It’s about half way between Fugazi and the Police –borrowing atmospheric, intricate minutiae from the former and good-old-fashioned North Eastern pop chintz from the latter. Reference points might be Dischordians Q and not U and Faraquet, but to be frank nobody else comes close.!" (Punk News)

This Ain’t Vegas – s/t : 7inch
" eloquent post-punk hip thrusts of Gang of Four, snaking wiry guitar lines through soulful hollers and jutting, funky rhythms that snap and pop like a contortionist limbering up for the show of his life. " (Collective Zine)

i nearly dismissed this as over because of the title (August is the eigth month of the year, not the seventh)
 
yeah and change Eagle Eye to Eagle Eye Cherry while you're at it. To sucker in the MOR crowd, who will hopefully stay until the break of dawn.

in anyways, looking forward to seeing This Aint Vegas now so I am.
