Death Ships - Seeds of Devastation

Four months ago I was really enjoying two songs by a band called Death Ships. I liked them so much that I even made a post on them. Well, now Death Ships has officially left the water wings and dove head-first into the deep end.

I can only imagine how frustrating it must have been to be lead singer/songwriter Daniel Maloney. Here is a guy that had all of his songs written and recorded in August/October of 2005 and didn't get them mastered until June '06. Patience is, indeed, a virtue for it has resulted in a solid debut album. Death Ships have been amassing a solid following in the Chicago/Iowa City area and seem to be extremely eager to break free from the confines of the Midwest. Record deal just in time for Fall, anyone?

Any expectations I could've mustered up for this debut have been silenced. The once acoustic side-project of Maloney has now become a labor of love. His labors have paid off and, with any luck, some of the record label types will notice the same.

See Death Ships live and be sure to check out their CD Release party/show on Sept. 1 in Iowa City!

Note: I'm heading to Chicago today to meet up with Connor and catch the Pitchfork Festival. The site may be somewhat quiet while we get our temporary base set up in Chi. Expect an update tomorrow night (hopefully) and full coverage of the fest starting Saturday. You should try to make up to Chicago, all the cool kids are doing it! Literally, all the cool kids. Come see a blogger in their natural habitat and laugh at how ridiculously uncool we are. See you in the Windy City!
