How ’bout Some Wild Sweet Orange?

The guys in Wild Sweet Orange write crafty poetic, dreamlike indie rock songs with a bit of a Southern feel and great guitar work as the backbone. Growing up childhood friends in Birmingham, AL, Preston Livinggood, Chip Kilpatrick, Garret Kelly, Matt Parsons, and Taylor Shaw are quickly catching the attention of folks with 2 EPs produced and a full length coming soon. The band has signed with Canvasback Music for the release of their full length, which houses another band that I have become fond of over the past year, Manchester Orchestra. I recently caught the bands live show, purely out of curiosity and not knowing much about the music, and was pleasantly surprised with the overall talent and performance. These guys managed to hold my attention for the entire set, which is a feat in itself, and had me wanting more as the closed out the show with a new song that energized the band to another level of playing. Chances are the boys will be back in town for SXSW 2008 and I’ll be looking forward to the second round of Wild Sweet Orange.
