Since Paul won't play Bastards of Young maybe this is an option. I have not heard the cover but I have seen the band when I've been in MPLS. They are very tight and rock!
From Mpls Star & Trib April 8th.
Release party: Saturday at 7th Street Entry.
THE CARDINAL SIN, "Oil and Water EP": Even with only six tracks, this disc at times manages to echo each of the members' past bands: Cadillac Blindside (frontman James Russell and drummer Rebecca Hanten), Song of Zarathustra (bassist Mark Shaw) and the Crush (guitarist Jon Ness). That means a lot of emo-y guitar-blaring and overwrought singing, but the band has a mightiness to match its drama.
Russell and the band especially make a convincing S.O.S. on "A Call for Help," while the title track ends the EP on a climactic note that leaves you wanting more. The cover of "Bastards of Young" in between -- C.S. did a Replacements tribute set on Halloween -- seems out of place, but not because it's musically all that different. The rest of the songs are strong enough to stand on their own.
