There’s a reason why websites like Kickstarter and Pledge Music are in existence. There are great ideas and projects of all kinds that just need a little push start. With the help of fan-sourcing, some amazing music, movies, artwork, etc, can all be made for the world’s enjoyment.
At WordKrapht, we see the importance of the work being done on those sites and the artists trying to fulfill lifelong dreams on them. Each week we will feature one project. This week, the artist is Some Army.
Some Army is a Chapel Hill, North Carolina sextet that offers up rich textures and lush melodies. Russell Baggett "leads the band with a warm croon that’s shaded by late-night over thinking and bleary melancholy. It shares a dreamy quality with any number of shoe gazers but never succumbs to the murk and mire that the tag implies. Instead, Some Army’s gentle drift suggests spaced-out psych rock, and Baggett’s lyrics lean imagistic, with an undercurrent of shuffling folk to keep it earthbound."
-Bryan C. Reed
There 2012 EP is available now.

The Twilight Zone at the 506
Last night was one of the weirdest show-going experiences I've ever had. I was going to Local 506 to see Ryan Gustafson, Some Army, and Poor Moon. For the uninitiated, the 506 is one of the best-known clubs in the area (capacity: 250). Here were the highlights:
Walking up and seeing a line that went down the rest of the block (this is super super rare)
After waiting in line for a few minutes, it became evident that almost everyone was there to do an assignment for the Intro to Rock Music class. Most of them didn't know anything about the bands or that the 506 even existed.
Overheard in line: "Nobody ever comes here. I think our class is the only thing keeping this place in business." (I almost had a fit at this point)
People SITTING IN THE FLOOR and TAKING NOTES during the show
I turned around to check out the crowd, saw a guy EATING HIS WATER CUP. We made awkward eye contact as he ripped off another piece and started eating it.
Most of the kids in the crowd clearly had no idea who was what or what was going on.
As glad as I am that the bands had a big paying crowd, it was a weird scene. The bands seemed to get a kick out of it, though. I got to talk to some of the Poor Moon dudes, which was pretty cool, as I never thought I'd see them again (first saw them almost 3 years ago in Seattle as Peppermint Majesty).
But sweet Christ, I never want to go to a show with the rock music class ever again.
they played on a lawn near my building on friday and i got all the free pizza i could eat and it was nice.
