I'm not too sure about the band's namesake, but you can't always judge a book by its cover. So, I went into the new 7" from My Heart to Joy at the Same Tone, Virgin Sails, blind.
This Connecticut four-piece offer up three songs on their newest EP. Their sound is a mash up of punk, indie rock, emo, and post-punk. They mix together the guitar styling of a Drive Like Jehu and slow the pace down just a tad - think the mid-tempo body of work of Sunny Day Real Estate. Of the three I'd say "Virgin Sails" is their best piece here - solid rhythms and driving guitars match up perfectly with the shouted vocals.
You can download this recording, as well as their previous EP and demo at their Myspace for free. Definitely worth the download.
