Band Review – Eisley

Another review for everyone…
Eisley’s sound is a an enchanting mix of angelic Indie Rock/Pop with a comic tone to many of their songs. Eisley’s story is one of a dream come true: After forming 10 years ago and remaining a relatively unknown band, the group of three sisters Stacy Dupree, 17; Sherri Dupree, 23; and Chauntelle Dupree, 25; their brother, Weston Dupree, 19; and a friend, Jon Wilson struck some luck. The quintet released a pair of stunning, dreamy rock EPs in 2003 which fell into the hands of Cold Play and Snow Patrol… bands they’d be heading within the next year.

A few sample songs from Eisley’s myspace and you’ll fall in love quickly. Golly Sandra starts out in a tone set for a Hawaiin luau, yet the song flows into a dreamy setting. Head Against the Sky provides a more somber tone, the story of a presumably an older sibling singing to a young brother or sister.

If you like such bands as Rilo Kiley, and the tone of Jenny Lewis, you’ll definitely enjoy Eisley.

Favorite Lyrics:
From Laughing City:
follow me down to the laughing city
with people changing all their minds
it’s crazy
i want this ma’am, that ma’am, no sir
yes ma’am, that sir
well i’ll tell you one thing, if you’re keeping something

then hold on, hold on to the ones you love
hold on, hold on to the ones you love

From Tree Tops:
when i was a young girl
trying to find her way above the tree tops, the tree tops, the tree tops
when i was a young girl
trying to find her way above the tree tops, the tree tops, the tree tops
i did not care, i did not care
what they called me, what they called me

i’ll float above the ocean
the sun above is burning my head
i will grow wings and fly everywhere

    i’m not trying to correct you or anything, but, i thought it was “Snow Patrol” and not “Snow Control.” unless there’s another band named that, girl inform me.

    i love your review.

    I’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well. But it was interesting! Look for some my links:

Always one to laugh, I'm the girl you'll see giggling in the back over a silly word or joke while the world passes right by her. Although I enjoy the serious side of life (politics, world news and what makes the world go 'round), I love to be creative through humor, fashion, dance and design.
