Throw down the books, pick up our sound

I think it's high time a song like this came along: an inspirational story about dropping out of school to join a band. Hell, Win Butler from Arcade Fire, not to mention hundreds of other people, have done it. I'd imagine not everyone who has done this has done it without regrets, but maybe young Danny B. Cool is different.

Spiritual Mansions - Danny B. Cool.

I don't know much about Spiritual Mansions, other than the fact that they're from Minneapolis and on local label Afternoon Records. I do know that there's nobody named Dan in the band, so I suppose this plea hasn't paid off. The real band members - Ryan Harris on vocals and guitar, Mark Hanson on drums, Athony Schaefer on bass, Joel Roberts on guitar, and Sam Harvey-Carlson on keyboards - have put out a fun little record with Give Us Your Hearts, which came out on June 19. It's only seven songs long, but it has some solid tracks on it.

You can order Give Us Your Hearts from the label.
