On their first full-length album “Thracian”, the band sounds sort of like a campy version of early Sleater-Kinney…yet very much like Eagle & Talon. The album is full of fun start/stop interactions, catchy guitar hooks, and oddball lyrics like “They’ll trade your fingers for a double latte” and “Drink a bottle of hand sanitizer/It won’t let you down.”

Eagle & Talon’s official site allows you to download their album with the pay-what-you-want model made popular by Radiohead…but, $15 gets you a cool loot bag with a physical copy of “Thracian”, personal scribblings, and a surprise.
