Band of the Week: Brilliant Sweaters

Last year I booked a band to perform at my CMJ day show called Animandible. The band was just a rocking two piece and played to all of five people that day, but on stage they performed like they were at a sold out Madison Square Garden. From that day on they had a fan they could count on in me, so when time came to book the After the Jump Fest this summer I immediately thought to bring them back for out little noise stage. Well, it turns out Animandible were no more, but born out of that fire was a three piece band called Brilliant Sweaters (awesome name!) featuring the same members as Animandible (I believe). So I figured why not book them? And I did and they rocked my ass off!

Now here we are a month after the fact and I'm finally highlighting the band. Some friend and fan I turned out to be huh?! But regardless of how long it's taken me to properly introduce you folks to this band I am doing it now and you had better take note because this is one of the better punk rock bands going these days! In the same vein as all that lo-fi punk stuff I keep spewing at you guys these days, Brilliant Sweaters have a bunch of songs on their Myspace page that flat out rock! I'd recommend stopping by once a day if you have the time!

The lone issue I have with these folks is that I don't have more music that I can carry around with me and listen to (um guys, can you please get on that ASAP!), but other then that they are rocking me in every other way possible. So please lend an ear to these boys at some point today and maybe check out their next show. Who knows you may be seeing them at a Pop Tarts sponsored event before you know it!
