EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD: Attack Formation - Pearl Snaps + Manipulation + The Cost
It's the kind of situation that can only really happen in places like Austin. Ben and Reagan live in an airy, open house just outside of town. When laying your head there over SXSW 08, bands were coming in and out from Kansas, Minnesota, Illinois and California. The garage/Attack Formation practice space served as a place to work out new line-ups with last minute additions, the backyard was a tent city for visitors who wanted their own space outside of the house. It was an open-door policy to the most fun place to stay with the nicest people in Austin.
Attack Formation the band is not unlike Ben and Reagan's house. Any given performance may have the same line-up you saw last week, but it's not the same one you saw last year. Every recording features a combination of willing pranksters as nebulous as Clay Aiken's sexuality. The one steady is Ben Webster. He is the unfailingly enthusiastic leader of this band of merry nuts and artists. RCRD LBL presents: The older "Pearl Snaps," try to keep up if you can. The borrowed (from the Big Boys) and live "Manipulation" - Mike Flannery, whoever you are, pay up. And the new "The Cost," which was just completed last week. Clap along. Welcome to the Fun House.
