SomaCow Media is proud to present ComaSow brought to you by The Proclaimers.
Geoff started out saying he didn’t have much hope as we’ve had less than good luck with bands from the 80s and 90s who come out with new albums but, as always, I have hope.
The Proclaimers’ new album is available in the US on August 31st. We only received 4 songs and will review 3 so maybe talk with the folks in the UK and Canada (where they can buy it now) on how the whole album is.
As you can see, I was wrong on the title of the album. But the first song we did WAS “17″, a cover of The Kings of Leon. The chatroom was less than stellar on this song. Many felt it was great bar music to drink to. Geoff hated the harmonica. Geoff said I am too forgiving on music but I found it pleasing to listen to.
The second song was “The Long Haul”. Geoff was not happy with this one either. I felt the same as the last one where I’d love to hear it in a pub in the background. Maybe we’ll have better luck with song number 3?
So the third song, “S-O-R-R-Y” Geoff wanted to turn it off after the first few seconds. I decided to fast forward through it some (hence the jumpiness and shortness). It was Geoff’s least favorite. I wasn’t too pleased either. There was one more song but we chose not to listen to it. Who knows, maybe the CD won’t be as bad!
We’re looking for someone to help us with some local strategy talk so if you’re in the Orlando area and want to help us get our plans off the ground please email us at comasow@gmail.com and thanks!
We do have new SomaCow t-shirts. You can see them (and buy them) here! They are limited edition for the new studio we’re building.
We’re working on the ComaSow shirts, you can put your input in here re slogan and look.

So I have now listened to the Proclaimers episode, and that is probably the best thing that can be said about this EP. This thing sucked. It honestly sounded like it was recorded in my kitchen. With a skype headset. Drunk. And sleep deprived.
To be frank, this review has made me sad. I was a fan of the Proclaimers back in their day. That day has passed. Truly I hope that this was just a rough cut, because I doesn’t sound like there is any mastering going on here at all.
On another note Jen may be the oddest hippie ever. Birkenstocks, very liberal, but used to get laid out in pits. Weird.
Oh yeah, I was a weird girl. My shoes included 2 pairs of birkenstocks and 2 pairs of Doc Martens. Had to wear them depending on the situation…
Was I out on the lawn having lunch with the Hare Krishnas? Or was I going to a show or Old Wave night dancing?? That was the extent of my wardrobe decisions.
Now it’s Birkenstocks (thanks Geoff for the mother’s day gift) if it’s not raining or flip flops for the rain. I do have 5 pairs of Converse also
And agreed re the review. I am hoping the album that comes out in the US in August is better. It’s out now in Canada and the UK so maybe the other songs are better?
