(PR) Athens, GA favorites The Pendletons are thrilled to announce the release of the band's full-length debut Oh, Me! on the new Athens-born, New York-based indie outlaw label. Athens audiences got their first introduction to The Pendletons when the band opened numerous shows for ATO Records' The Whigs. Both acts have since established tremendous fanbases in and out of Athens. Frontman Adam Saunders just returned from a summer on the West Coast recording with friends The Whigs. Though Saunders says he's more comfortable singing and playing a six-string, he laid the bass parts for The Whigs next ATO release. Back from vacation, Saunders and band are hitting the road
The Pendletons' sound can easily be described as "the best of Athens indie rock meets the best of elsewhere". Oh, Me! highlights many common historical features of Athens' musicultra-catchy melodies, flashy parts, and a downhome nature that harkens back the old days of vinyl-based rock 'n' roll. But, The Pendletons update the traditional Athens sound in a way that makes even Peter Buck dance with a beer high in the air (seriously
. He did it at SXSW!) Check out the first single "Sad Songs" - (mp3 is here)
