Roman Candle – “Hey There”
10 September 2009 in Blogroll, Music, Random, blah blah blah
Roman Candle can kick out the jams
Thanks to Brett Dillon playing them on KHYI and to my buddy Chip over at Amber Waves of Twang, I have really become a big fan of North Carolina’s Roman Candle (Official / Myspace). Their new album, Oh Tall Tree In the Ear (Carnival Recording Co) is a plain and simple whale of a time.
While my favorite song of the entire disc is “Why Modern Radio Is A-O.K.”, the track I have for you below, “They Say”, is a foot stomping and air-drumming gem that really showcases the all-out vocals of Skip Matheny. The folk-rock vibe of this song is a fair representation of the entire album, I think. Enjoy!

I’ve been seeing this band pop up around the blogs lately, but I never took the time to listen before. This is some seriously catchy stuff.
I like that you’ve added streaming mp3s to the site lately.
Thanks Nelson – Brett Dillon on 95.3 has been playing what is presumably a bootleg of “Modern Radio” for a couple of years now, so that was my formal intro to them. “Catchy” is a great word for this song as well as the group as a whole…I have enjoyed putting the audio up also, I hated only giving links to the bands myspace. I think the posts are more complete this way…
I am diggin’ this song as well.
cool, good. i think you’ll like the album too, its got that same vibe throughout…
