Augustana


As the writers of piano rock hit 'Boston,' Augustana managed to make a name for themselves back in 2006. They followed it up with their sensational third full-length, Can't Love, Can't Hurt. But as these five guys are as much road-loving vagabonds as they are musicians, it's been over two years since that release. While I love hearing the chorus of 'Sweet and Low' through the T.J.Maxx speaker's as much as the next shopper, I cannot wait for new material that can allow Augustana to keep their crown of band with the best ballads. Speaking of which...potential new songs go by the following titles:

Stars
Someone's Baby Now
Hurricane
Make Love
Baby Please
Steal Your Heart (Away)
Borrowed Time

...promising, no?

EDIT: Augustana's latest, a self-titled release... has hardly been released. Personally, I haven't been able to get a hold of the physical copy after going to multiple retailers. I attended a concert where their new CD ran out at the merch table; bad when you're only midway through a tour.
