coming soon to the rescue rooms one of the best live bands
Augustines, formerly known as We Are Augustines, are back with a new self-titled LP. In an instant the record is sure to capture you. It’s a fresh start that’s bigger and bolder than their previous work. It leans on the shoulders of arena rock as rising shouts and chants are spread throughout the album. However, it sounds genuine and distinct. Retrospectively looking at their previous work, which was rather dark and covert (as its songs were inspired by the suicide of singer Billy McCarthy’s brother), and contrasting it to this new piece, this album speaks of life and overcoming.
