One of my most listened to bands of 2011 was Brooklyn-based We Are Augustines. Their standout debut album, Rise Ye Sunken Ships is a powerful LP of heartfelt and poignant songs.
I was lucky enough to catch them perform several times last year and interviewed frontman Billy McCarthy where he filled me in on his songwriting process, performing his personal songs live every night and the New York music scene.
Friday night, We Are Augustines made their TV debut on Late Show with David Letterman and played “Chapel Song.” Watch their performance below. For a free download from Rise Ye Sunken Ships, visit their Website.
