Des Ark
 

Well I kinda stumbled apon they're debut "Loose Lips Sink Ships" (No, it's not my namesake.) I've given it a few listens and it's starting to grow on me. I've also given "Battle of the Beards" split a listen as well and I really wasn't expecting country-esque acoustic type music.

ps. I looked high and low for a Des Ark thread, but if there is could you merge threads?

I've probably named dropped a few dozen times but they're impossible to search for because of the 3 letter thingy. I'm seeing them in a month again :D Aimee has done two radio sessions in the vein of the Ben Davis stuff.
Here's one

Their louder stuff sounds really similar to Bellafea. Yay, North Carolina. They rule and if anyone wants any of their stuff just ask.
