I have just heard of this new band from Orange County, CA today and I must say that they sound pretty damn good. The band is called Death On Wednesday.

I have also just found out from Amy T., that they covered "Panic" in one of their recent concerts. There is also a article on them in Mean Street Magazine, the recent issue with Coldplay on the cover. The article is called "Moshing to Moz".

I love it when bands are influenced by Morrissey!!! I was in Denton, TX and caught the Motorskills show at the Brickhaus. Russel Lyday (?) from indie college radio (The Show That Fell To Earth) hopped on stage and did an awesome Morrissey impression as the band thundered through "Glamorous Glue". He juts his jaw like a pro.
