DOWNLOAD: The Prayers - "Clandestino" and "Loose Lips"

We here at RCRD LBL are stoked to be featuring downloads from The Prayers, a San Diego power pop band from ex-Plot to Blow Up The Eiffel Tower front man Brandon Welchez. The Prayers' debut EP, God Save The Prayers is power pop deluxe, reminding us of a harder, edgier version of bands like the Nerves, the db's, or even the Cars, with a dollop of post-Libertines guitar angst for good measure. The two tracks in question here, the rollicking "Clandestino" and the more mid-tempo "Loose Lips", are true slices of west coast Americana, and while die-hard Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower fans might find The Prayers a little soft for their hardcore leanings, the rest of us thoroughly enjoy the band's more poppy moments. Both tracks are up for download below, so make sure to check it out.
