The Pleased

Once again, while casting about for something interesting on eMusic.com, I ran across a San Francisco band called The Pleased, which released their debut album Don't Make Things in 2003. They have great sound that's in the same ballpark as your Interpols, Stills, etc, but with much more of an Echo and the Bunnymen influence. I've downloaded five songs from the album so far (ran out of eMusic credits - will get the rest of the album next month), and all are excellent: Already Gone, We Are the Doctor, Never Come Home, Another Disaster, and Don't Make Things. We Are the Doctor is particularly catchy. You can download Already Gone for free from the band's website.
