• 29th Feb 2012

We Are Augustines are set to release their much anticipated debut album ‘Rise Ye Sunken Ships’ this coming Monday, March 5th 2012, via their own label, Oxcart Records and celebrate this today by giving away a free MP3 of their wonderful album track ‘Augustine’ from link

I’ve been listening to the album this week and it’s quite a debut. I’ll have a review to share with you all here on Glasswerk.co.uk before the end of the week.

The Brooklyn three-piece enjoyed playing their debut US TV show performance on the David Letterman show this weekend in NYC. Watch this stunning performance of ‘Chapel Song’ from the album, which was released this Monday as a single.

Made up of singer/guitarist Billy McCarthy, Eric Sanderson on bass/keys and drummer, Rob Allen, We Are Augustines have warmed the hearts and souls of the UK so far with their sublime live shows featuring many of their heartfelt anthems from the album that received the ‘iTunes Alternative Album of the Year’ award in the US at the end of 2011.

“It’s quite gratifying to be where we are now,” says Billy McCarthy, reflecting on the past two years, which has seen them rise from the ashes of Pela to garner a new, equally fervent following with We Are Augustines – something which, on the back of previous setbacks, looked in danger of being drowned at birth.
