Prince of Spain

Sorry it's been a while since I posted anything.  I came across this group on noisetrade recently.  I would classify the music as somewhat folky rock, with prominent guitars and tuneful melodies.  The percussion is also pretty strong and driving; in some ways they remind me of a more melodic and alternative-friendly version of the Lumineers.  You can listen to their one album ("His Magesty", which came out in October) on their bandcamp site.  If you're just going to listen to one song from the album, check out "Rising Sun".  You can see the music video for this song on their noisetrade page.  It's a powerful song, there's no denying it...the simplicity of the guitar work makes it quite intense.  If you like this song, I suggest checking out the band.
