It's been almost a year since tracks from Bottle Up & Go's forthcoming debut LP hit the web, yet all that's happened since then is that they've come up with a name for it. "Rather Be Dead" is one of two songs available so far, and judging by its intensity and raw power, Until the Day I Die may be the dark horse of the year -- that is, if it's released on time. Drawing comparisons to the likes of Two Gallants rather than Edward Sharpe, these cowboys give us a darker, more realistic look at the hardships of gunslinging and saloon-hopping in a Clint Eastwood-esque western landscape. Add a chorus of rousing horns and you've got quite a wonderful, scrappy piece of work. Oh, and just a fun fact, these guys were classmates of MGMT and Bear Hands at Wesleyan a few years back. That'll tell you something.
From: Until the Day I Die (?)
