Okkervil River

Thursday, September 27, 2007

Okkervil River’s latest album, "The Stage Names," is a contender for indie rock’s album of the year. The fourth offering from the Austin-based group is filled with folky rave-ups and songwriter Will Sheff’s rich stories about troubled artists. Okkervil River joins us for a live performance in the Soundcheck studio.

    Hello,

    If "The Stage Names," is a contender for indie rock’s album of the year, I'd hate to hear the "pretenders"!!

    The lead singer of this "band" would be much better off following.

    Yuk!

    Okkervil River put on a great show in Cambridge & I was amazed at the devotion of the fans. They knew all the songs & indeed sang along! I think they deserve album of the year. See them live! You won't be disappointed.
