Check out Harriet, one of our bands to watch in 2012. Harriet is the brainchild of Alex Casnoff and Tell the Right Story is their debut EP.
Head over to their website to download. Did I mention it's free!
Harriet is Alex Casnoff (vocals, piano, guitar), Aaron Folb (bass), Henry Kwapis (drums), and Adam Gunther (guitar). Tell the Right Story was produced by Sean O' Brien and was recorded in Los Angeles and Sacramento.
Casnoff formerly of Dawes left the band and was replaced with their original keyboardist. You can hear Casnoff's fine keyboard work on our 2011 album of the year, Dawes- Nothing is Wrong.

Delta Spirit Hit the Road Again
Comments (0) | Monday, January 9, 2012
The new album is set to be released March 13th of this year.
On the band's blog, singer Matt Vasquez explains, "We found the sound that we've been looking for, that we've been growing into, and as soon as we hit on it, we ran with it. That's why it's a self-titled record, so we could connect our identity with what we think Delta Spirit is."
This past summer, Delta Spirit played to a sold-out crowd at Lincoln Hall for a Lollapalooza pre-show.
Delta Spirit will be at the Metro in Chicago on March 23rd
