Band to Watch - Percy Farm

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Percy Farm is a band without an eye-catching name, but thankfully this unimposing moniker provides a stark contrast to their energetic, creative music. Rather than rely on a gimmicky inside joke or semi-clever play on words to grab the attention of potential listeners, Percy Farm banks on their ability to write breathtaking songs that fit into a cohesive whole - that is, placing emphasis on the album over its singles - and achieve this via an eclectic array of instruments and styles. Their 2007 debut, The End's In the Beginning, blends sublime pop-rock sensibilities with dashes of post-rock, jazz and country to create a musical experience so unique and confident that it shames most offerings from more experienced bands. It's easily one of the year's best rock albums, and with it these talented musicians have quickly established themselves as an undeniable new force in today's music scene.
