Gospel Claws

Add Date: April 6

Artist: Gospel Claws

Album: Gospel Claws (EP)

Label: Self-released

Genre: Rock

Comments: I think my favorite part about this band is that they're name is descriptive the music (and not in a overtly cheesy way): The "Gospel" produces itself the backing harmonies of oo's and ahh's and the sometimes present organ melodies, and the "Claws" best describe the poppy hooks of the vocal melodies and guitar riffs.

This isn't a change-your-life-it's-so-good band, but they're doing something worth acknowledging and checking out. Hailing from Phoenix, AZ, Gospel Claws releases this self-titled ep as a debut to the national scene and a precursor to their full length album to be released in the Fall of 2010. The promoter states that if you're a fan of Blitzen Trapper, The Walkmen, or Tapes 'n Tapes, you would enjoy Gospel Claws.
