*Cursive is B-Sides band of the week. They just released a new album entitled "Mama, I'm swollen" on Saddle Creek records. I can't say enough about Cursive's excellent songwriting and instrumentation as each album they've released has a concept that keeps the listener engaged. This new album (as with all their albums) does not disappoint. So for the sake of art....please check Cursive out.

*After a one week hiatus, B-Sides returns. I've chosen The Sleeping, from Long Island, NY as my band of the week....not because they've reinvented the wheel or anything of the sorts, but more because they've written one of the best albums of the year thus far. Call 'em melodic rock or post-hardcore, The Sleeping have hit their stride with their third album. Give 'em a shot. Their new album "What it Takes" is available everywhere.
