As Kat mentioned in another thread, there seems to be a lot of "Slammers" on this site. So....I thought I'd start a Back Door Slam thread.

If you've never heard of BDS, you really should check them out. They're three young guys from the Isle of Man who are amazing musicians! They play blues/rock and have been compared to some of the greats.

"Come Home" video
"Too Good For Me" and "Too Late" - Love these! There are other videos from this show that you should watch as well. So good.

(Yes, I do promote Paolo on other boards too. )

For U.S. Fans:

Starbucks is selling iTunes download cards for BDS's Roll Away cd. For only $9.99 you get the full cd plus their new four track EP and the video for "It'll All Come Around". The video alone is worth the money - it's put together so well. Don't know how much longer these will be available so you should hit your local Starbucks soon. I've already picked up three of them.

Just so you all know, they are only at individual Starbucks stores, not the ones inside other stores like Macy's or Barnes & Noble. (Yes, I've looked.)

Great band & excellent noise

Kate, I'm pretty sure Shari and I are going to the one in Massachusetts on August 23rd. I'd also like to go to the one the next weekend in CT.
