I want to know what Chicagoist is getting in return for relentlessly promoting a band like Eisley while repeatedly describing them as mediocre. Huh?

Just that they are from a pretty competitive area for new bands and being from Texas well there just anything wrong with a little slide guitar sound.

Fair enough. I would like to stress that I do believe that Eisley has all the ingredients to potentially become a great band but I just don't think they're there yet. I also wanted to stress that as a group they really did seem to enjoy what they were doing and to me that was certainly refreshing. Like I said, I look forward to seeing them grow into their talent. I'm not sure what your comment about them being from Austin had to do with anything though...

Well, you're right, the set was way too long, but let's give credit where credit is due. With all the rip off 60's rock/pop, Franz Ferdinand (god, there already back with a new album), and angry-white guy 30 somethings (writing songs about teenage girls) bands, Eisley has more talent in their pinky than many other new acts today. And not to rip on you too much, but remember they're from Austin, and the song Golly Sandra is probably one of their best songs orchestrated. I am grateful to discover them myself at Coachella this year and look forward to their maturation music group. David
