Let me just start by saying that you want to listen to Milktooth. To get a sense of the band’s style pretty quickly, I would say that they have a tendency to lay back on a solid rock groove before finally pumping up the passion/aggression and going into something that really impacts the listener. This is sort of a Copeland meets indie southern rock type of band you can really grab onto.

Please take a moment of silence as Copeland has left us. Feel free to spin your favorite Copeland record in memory.

Looking for more bands that have a familiar Copeland sound? Anchor & Braille’s new record which was produced by Aaron Marsh is out today, but if you need another one you may want to check out Fairground who is currently recording with Mr. Marsh.

Often with side bands [projects] I get the feeling that the songs were written for the main band, but they didn’t make the cut. Anchor & Braille, on the other hand, is no second string act, offering up only songs seemingly ripped directly from the pages of a private journal. Stephen Christian steers the songs on ‘Felt’ with an occasionally timid falsetto voice, much different from that of his other band Anberlin.

The new album from Copeland is outstanding, but not perfect. The old song which the album title is based off of describes what journey you can expect the record to take you on. Singer Aaron Marsh, has remarked “Initially, that song is very lovely and when you think of it, it immediately conjures up fine memories of your childhood, but actually it’s super creepy in the latter verses of the song. It gets quite dark”.

You can’t judge a book by it’s cover but you can judge it by the title and ‘You Are My Sunshine’ sums up the overall feel of the album perfectly. Almost completely opposite to ‘Eat, Sleep, Repeat’, the new album is light and airy, full of little bits of cheer. The rock music from the band’s album ‘In Motion’ is severely lacking, almost to a fault, but nevertheless the record stands brilliantly on it’s own and is a welcome addition to Copeland’s discography.

Listen to Copeland

Song to start with: “Good Morning Fire Eater”

The whole album is streaming on myspace. There has been a lot of demand for this, so what do you think?

There is a new Copeland song available to listen to titled “Good Morning Fire Eater“. The song follows the previous 2 songs that are up for listening, style wise, and so at this point it seems as this will be the overall general feel of the record. What are your thoughts so far?

In the long list of things that Amazon.com does but you wonder why they do, you now have ‘Music Videos’ apparently. Nevertheless, Copeland’s new video for the song “The Grey Man” can now be seen on the album’s pre-order page. Enjoy.

Copeland Video On Amazon

Update: Do you like it or not? Copeland has never really had any good videos and sadly this one seems just as lame. The song is good but could have had a better video, in my opinion.

I don’t know if the title could have fit any better but Spin.com has a stream of a new Copeland song called “On The Safest Ledge”. The song is very similar in style to the other new song which was already released on the band’s myspace page titled “The Grey Man”.

More and more, based on the songs being released it sounds as if ‘You Are My Sunshine’ will be the cheerful 2nd version of ‘Eat, Sleep, Repeat’. The two songs that everyone has heard are both delicate with the higher than normal vocals. I still am not convinced this album will be better than any of their previous ones although I still am still reserving judgment until I can hear the whole thing.

What are you thoughts on the new song?

Copeland has released a new song tonight called “The Grey Man”. The song seems to be closest to something off of Eat Sleep Repeat in it’s style. Any thoughts?

Update: it looks like it won’t be long

Update 2: it’s out, it’s good

On August 21st Copeland announced their new album, ‘You Are My Sunshine’. While I have been following and loving all of their albums since ‘Beneath Medicine Tree’, I have never really thought of Copeland as a big and well known band but maybe they are? Ever since August 21st Copeland has dominated our search results, people are searching Google and Yahoo for more info on the upcoming release from the band. Are you overly excited for this new album from the band? I know I can’t wait.

(Anyone from Tooth And Nail don’t hesitate to send that promo copy over)

Copeland recently made a big announcement about their new album and made it in an equally as big way. The viral marketing game is one which Fall Out Boy, Brand New, and other bands have just naturally graduated towards while others have sort of just side stepped. We’ll be diving into the marketing and musical aspect, taking a look at the new Copeland record from a “what can we expect” point of view.

Well it looks like October 14th will bring a new Copeland album titled ‘You Are My Sunshine’. The album will be released through Tooth And Nail Records. You can read a press release below by clicking, “Read More”

Any Copeland fans would be wise to check out Progress In Color.

Any of you interested in artists such as Colbie Caillat, Sara Bareilles, or even Feist really need to give Stacy Clark a listen. I can definitely see her current album ‘Apples And Oranges’ being re-released by a major label and blowing up big time.

For some indie cred, Aaron Marsh of Copeland does sing on the song “Empty Bottles” with Stacy.

Song to start with: “Mattter Of Time” or “Unusal”

In honor of our Brighten interview which will be out soon, give the band a listen if you haven’t or just stop by and leave the band a comment.

For fans of: Copeland, Number One Gun

Song to start with: More Vacations

Here’s Aaron Marsh’s [Copeland] version of “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas“

Big deal for releases although none really being advertised in stores

* Copeland – Dressed Up And In Line
* Anberlin – Lost Songs
* Stacy Clark – Apples And Oranges
* Dead Poetic – Best Of…

(more…)

B-Side and rarities albums are becoming the cool thing for a band to release as of lately and so Copeland has joined the pack with “Dressed Up and In Line”. The album spans the band’s entire time line and includes alternate versions, cover songs, an acoustics.

(more…)

Being a fairly big Copeland fan there was only 1 or 2 songs which were new to me, although there is a good chance most people with find quite a few songs that are new to them. This is a pretty decent rarities album but overall not a must have for every person.
