Their self-titled debut is out now and its a nice surprise. I remember hearing "Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood" a while ago but didnt know who it was by. Could be this years Arcade Fire although the guys voice might be a little off-putting compared to Win Butler's.

They have three songs available for downloading off the album. Enjoy.

Sounds okay, but the guy's voice is kind of hard to get used to.

Of course, by the end of the first song I was used to it >.<

8/5/2005 11:43:39 AM

Heavy Metal is my favorite track.

9/20/2005 4:24:41 PM

^^^i got mine at cd alley in chapel hill. schoolkids sometimes has them...

9/20/2005 4:42:46 PM

im seeing them on sunday

2 days after sigur ros

9/20/2005 5:42:14 PM

I might be half deaf but I think he sounds more like Dave Byrne than Isaac Brock

9/20/2005 7:41:34 PM

look at possumdog listening to music

shocking

i dont think he sounds at all like brock, and maybe a little byrne-esque but not really

i bet they put on a good show, i'll let ya know

9/20/2005 7:46:04 PM

those samples they got online are kinda boring

9/20/2005 8:29:21 PM

i dig

9/20/2005 8:34:08 PM

i'll be at the 506 show

9/20/2005 10:45:45 PM

so does anyone know if Schoolkids actually has tickets, I'd rather not order offline

9/20/2005 10:57:22 PM

i'm def hitting up this show yo

too bad they decided to play at 506 instead of cat's cradle

9/21/2005 8:14:15 AM

sounds more talking heads/violent femmes to me. but skin of my yellow country teeth definitely has a modest mouse sound to it. at least in the bending of that one note.

9/21/2005 9:05:09 AM

i wasnt too impressed with their album.

i havent listened to the samples online, but that was my overall impression of the album. i just thought it was boring.

that's funny - that's what the review on pitchfork said

9/21/2005 9:13:59 AM

they just started their set on woxy.com

9/21/2005 3:56:35 PM

^^I never even read the review, but it doesn't take a genius to figure that one out. Everyone who's listened to it at my house has said that.

9/22/2005 10:34:49 AM

Sounds good.

I dig it.

9/22/2005 11:45:14 AM

Just got my tickets.

9/22/2005 12:34:45 PM

His voice reminds me of Jeff Mangum

I'm digging it, especially skin of my yellow country teeth

9/22/2005 12:46:26 PM

i bump it to this when i roll through my hood.

9/22/2005 2:04:00 PM

CLAP YOUR HANDS

9/22/2005 11:44:20 PM

seriously, skin of my yellow country teeth might be the first song i've ever masturbated to

9/23/2005 1:20:51 AM

its a good song, yes, but, you're going too far

unless you're a girl

in which case, carry on

-ZiP!-

9/23/2005 1:34:44 AM

that song got old really quick for me. I still like it, but I love "heavy metal" the best.

9/23/2005 8:43:00 AM

current favorite is "this home on ice"

anyway, I already purchased tickets, but could someone tell me what the deal is with having to be a member in advance to attend? I don't want to drive to Carrboro just to join beforehand, but of course I will if necessary

9/26/2005 3:10:20 AM

you need a membership to be able to attend shows. i think its a yearly one-time fee you pay to make yourself eligible to to buy tickets and go to shows for that year.

9/26/2005 6:17:50 AM

you can fill out a membership form online (local506.com) and just pay the $5 or $6 for it at the door the night of the show...otherwise you'll have to stand in line and fill it out on the clipboard when you get there.

9/26/2005 11:26:53 AM

did anyone know they don't have a label? and they're this big

[Edited on October 3, 2005 at 12:22 PM. Reason : ,]

10/3/2005 12:21:36 PM

i'll sign them to my label

10/3/2005 12:24:39 PM

p.s. sold out

10/3/2005 1:47:58 PM
