Weinland in 2008 - Pretty Sensational Album & A Summer Tour

Pretty Damn Impressive. Thoroughly Great...

Weinland could be, honest to God, the best of its generation. This is original songcraft but it would be easy to mistake the soulful guitar and organ for something written by Neil Young. I am listening as I type these words and I can almost see Young's silhouette climbing over another series of heartaches as Weinland frontman John Adam Weinland Shearer emits another low and steady line of plaintives.

A Different Kind of Talent: Weinland is Wicked

Tomorrow this red hot Portland band will embark on a National Tour

The year is 2008 and what you do have is one of the best independent rock bands to ever be influenced by Neil Young and his contemporaries. Portland's Weinland (Badman Recordings) is embarking on their first ever national tour in support of La Lamentor - a stellar new release. This is a band you should know about!

NEW RELEASE: FOUR of FIVE STARS

Weinland - "La Lamentor"


Dark, Sad and Beautiful - La Lamentor is an epic and stirring affair. It's the perfect collection of songs for so many types of days (both the bad and the good). As for channeling the living ghost of Neil Young, just listen to "Gold", "With You Without You", or "Sick As A Gun." - But the band is so much more than a breathing homage to Mr. Young. There are echoes of Elliott Smith and even Nick Drake contained in these rich songs.

This is your chance to check out the band on tour. The whole things starts tomorrow and new dates are being added daily.
