NEW HERE HOLY SPAIN CHRISTMAS SINGLE AT ITUNES

Singer/guitarist Wes Todd and bassist Erica Guagliardi are joined by special guests this time around for the sort of backward "We Are The World."


Guests include:

Mark Reznicek (The Toadies) - drums

Jencey Hirunrusme (Smile Smile) - back-up vocals

Young & Brave (+ Tara Manzo) - shout vocals

Casey Diiorio (Valve) - bells


Featuring cover art by James O’Barr the creator, artist and author of The Crow.

THE O'S DEBUT ALBUM AVAILABLE NOW ON ITUNES

The highly anticipated debut album from The O's does not arrive in stores until Feb. 10 but you can get it NOW exlusively at iTunes. You can also stream the entire album at www.last.fm

Here is what the press has been saying about The O's and their debut album We Are The O's:


"Easily the best new band of the year, The O's ,with their minimal musical set-up, have created one of the richest sounds of any band I've heard in awhile. This may only be a duo, but there is nothing lacking in their sound. And no, this is not another White Stripes wannabe duo, but rather a country duo that is more reminiscent of Everly Brothers." Ghost of Blind Lemmon Blog

"100 bands you need to know about for 2009" Alternative Press

"With experience in some eight other beloved local bands—ranging from the Polyphonic Spree to Boys Named Sue—Taylor Young and John Pedigo of The O's have their own large shoes to fill. Luckily, their debut release doesn't disappoint. Like Young and Pedigo themselves, The O's' sound is accessible, amiable and spirited in its front-porch twang and family-band harmonies. "California" instantly demands repeats in the player (and head) with its infectious chorus and windows-down attitude, while closer "I Love You So Much" is instantly endearing in its urgent and seemingly whiskey-fueled declarations." Dallas Observer

"They are the O's, a Dallas duo that's been getting critical raves and drawing crowds since forming in early summer. One strums a guitar and plays bass drum with his foot. The other switches between a banjo and a custom steel guitar. They take turns singing simple bluegrass tunes that warm the spirit and set the toes a-tappin'." DALLAS MORNING NEWS






"Idol Records has signed Dallas musical duo The O's. The O's formed in summer 2008 by Taylor Young and John Pedigo, having known one another through each other's bands, including Polyphonic Spree, Young Heart Attack, Slick 57, Young James Long, Rose County Fair, Boys Named Sue, P. W. Long, and The Backsliders. Already generating a buzz on the strength of their live shows, the pair is in the studio recording songs for a debut to be released in early 2009." Pegasus Ne

The album was recorded under the watchful eye of Stuart Sikes (White Stripes, Loretta Lynn, Cat Power, Modest Mouse)

"Experiment in Error is a grander Montage of more than occassional brilliance" Buddy Magazine

"The group's endlessly likable, jaunty surf pop is like the best '60s game show theme song I've never heard" Dallas Observer

"Quixotically exotic, at once conjuring Duane & eddy, Bert and Ernie and Ennio Morricone, Shibboleth's existentialelevator music rocks. Here's hoping we get stuck between floors" Modern Luxury Dallas

But you can buy it NOW via download at Audiolunchbox.com at
