Enid’s Black Canyon release debut album on Bandcamp
‘Battlefield Darlins’ features OKC singer Sherree Chamberlain
Anybody in Oklahoma City with their ears in even remote proximity to the ground have been hearing boot-stomping and hand-clapping the last few months.
But most notable is Sherree Chamberlain’s contribution to the record; a graceful, soul-singing depiction of the female in the album’s Civil War-era romance. Expect a review in the Aug. 3 edition of the Oklahoma Gazette. But for now, you should definitely head over to the band’s Bandcamp page and download the album. Below is the trailer to the aforementioned film which —in the interest of full disclosure— I helped make. Enjoy.

VOTD: Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. cover Pavement
‘Everytime, everytime, everytime, everytime …’
What’s a more perfect song for the A.V. Club’s “Summer Break” series than a gentler, more melodic and acoustic version of Pavement’s classic “Summer Babe,” I ask? Well, certainly not the winter version.
Note: ‘Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.’ might just be one my all-time favorite non-metal band name.
