Check out their new album. Got the early release and it just might be their best yet. Drops on Tuesday I believe. Great summer album.

Who's that?

Guys, if we make a thread about a new band, it does not mean everyone knows who that is. Why not make a sorta intro, tell everyone a few words about your feelings or their style, provide a couple of vids...

Per Rolling Stone:

Alberta Cross channels their rock roots on their new album, Songs of Patience, which will be released on July 17th. This will be the Brooklyn-via-Sweden and London-based duo's first full-length album in three years, and it reflects the evolution of their folk-rock sound.

From "Magnolia," an acoustic, Band of Horses-esque feel-good track that opens the album, to the gritty rumble that frames "Crate of Gold" and the wistful ballad "Bonfire," Songs of Patience is a trip though singer-songwriter-guitarist Petter Ericson Stakee's psyche, each note divulging more of his unique perception of the world around him.


The lead singers voice might not be for everyone, but I've dug it from their first album. Straight forward Rock and Roll. I saw them open for Ben Harper and they were very good live. They signed on to Dave Matthew's label ALO.
