New Additions: Did Your Mother Tell You? EP by The Sun

Having moved to Columbus in 1998, I was here when the whirlwind that was The Sun swept into town, specifically Chris Burney grabbing band members from Flotation Walls, The Jive Turkeys and New Bomb Turks to form his backing band. At the time, the demos were floating around town on CD-rs for folks to check out and discuss, specifically, how did this band score a deal with Warner Brothers? The answer is the songs. The two EPs released in 2003 and 2004 show off an advanced level of song craft that should have been huge at the time. Further rumors swirled years later about what went wrong, but we still have some great tunes.
