Song of the Yesterday: 3 - Alien Angel

     No excuses today, just late with yesterday's song, so you get another double header. The first one requires a bit of a walk, so bear with me. Now, by now you should all at least have heard of Coheed and Cambria, what with all the talking about them I've done: a couple of songs of the day and the Super Tuesday post in anticipation of their new album, The Afterman Part 1: Ascension (which, by the way, is pretty good). If you read that super Super Tuesday post, then you might remember me mentioning a gentlemen named Josh Eppard, Coheed's original drummer, who was gone for an album or two but is now back with the band.



     In addition to being a solid drummer and the surprisingly skilled MC of rap/hip-hop outfit Weerd Science, Josh is the younger brother of singer/songwriter/guitarist Joey Eppard, whose band 3 is pretty cool and probably much under-appreciated. So today you get to sample a little something by 3.

     Your song today is "Alien Angel", the opening track from 3's 2004 album Wake Pig. Although this album isn't exactly 3's latest material, it'll still give you a good taste of 3's kinda proggy songwriting and Joey's versatile voice. And of course, if you like what you hear in "Alien Angel", you need look no further than 3's pretty substantial catalogue of widely varied music to find something else to feast your ears upon.
