First Impression: Impressive.
I fist saw Bel Auburn opening up for Flickerstick last fall in Columbus, OH. I had never heard of the band prior to the show, but from the moment they took to the stage their well crafted songs swept over me as I slowly became hooked. Whether it was the seemingly personal vocals of frontman Scott or the assortment of sounds Jared coaxed out of his guitar with a violin bow - they managed to infect the audience with their music. Much like Connor mentioned in his previous post on Final Fantasy, they created one of those rare concert moments where you completely forget about the band you originally came to see. As their performance ended I made my way to their merch table and picked up their CD, Cathedrals, playing it nonstop on the car ride home and more and more on my computer. Cathedrals drips with the hard work Bel Auburn put into it; the album insert containing a short story about the origins of each song.

Be sure to look for an album coming from these guys soon, as they have been consistently updating their MySpace with a load of good songs and information. They're a band that can only improve as their career progresses and one that is amazing in concert, so be sure to try and catch them when they head your way.
