| | Sun Did Your Mother Tell You CD Sun Discography of CDs
The Sun plays well-built, edgy rock music that isn't afraid to unfurl an irresistible hook or thrash with abandon. DID YOUR MOTHER TELL YOU?, the band's full-length debut on Warner Brothers, weaves different styles into an overall sound that is accessible and compelling. What impresses most about the Sun is their ability to move between different genres, including gutsy garage ("My Girlfriend's Best Friend"), quirky New Wave ("Justice"), and spooky acoustic folk ("Demons"). At times, in fact, the Sun covers multiple territories in one song, as on the title track, which builds from a taut opening with acoustic strumming to a thunderous indie-rock crescendo.
At only seven songs, DID YOUR MOTHER KNOW? is in danger of seeming thin, but the songs are substantial enough to carry the album. "Valentine" builds a fuzzy web of distorted guitars over which vocals soar and a sing-song keyboard melody chimes, creating thick sonic textures. "Sandy" is happy, high-energy power pop that sparkles with a contemporary appeal despite its clear retro feel. These disparate directions work surprisingly well together, and make for a very strong first album from a band that seems to know what rock is really about.

| | Kent's Cellar Of Soul CD (2003) (Import) United Kingdom
Did Your Mother Tell You CD music
$17.05 
Like several '60s soul compilations on the Kent label, the concept is vague enough to elude the grasp of all but those who are quite immersed in the most dedicated corner of soul record collecting. It has "club and turntable hits from the golden age of American soul music," according to the back cover, though that really applies to British clubs and turntables, not American ones. The liner notes also intimate that soul compilations issued as part of the series "Bell's Cellar of Soul" in the 1960s served as an inspiration. They also claim that the 26 songs on this CD "are now entirely familiar sides," though that claim probably only holds water in some specialized British clubs and collector circles. None of these songs were big hits (with the exceptions of the Intruders' "Cowboys to Girls" and possibly James & Bobby Purify's "Let Love Come Between Us"), and most of them in fact weren't even small hits. Ultimately, it's a reasonably high-quality anthology of obscure (to the general listener) 1960s soul music, though one lacking the strongest of thematic linkages. The tenor tends toward the upbeat and danceable, though also, frankly, the generic and also-ran. ...

-GROUP BIOGRAPHY The year was 2005 when these two talented rapper\'s joined forces. The Double Trouble Duo known as Stitchez originally crossed path\'s in Norfolk, VA 2003. They traded off CD\'s and that was the beginning. Stitchez started off as just a mere side project that grew into something more powerful than they had anticipated. It was something different from the norm in VA.They began production of their album entitled, \"Sewn Shut\" in June of 2005. Month\'s went by and Stitchez made their first appearance as a group at the Unseen Havoc CD Release Party in December of 2005. January of 2006 came and the album was in the mastering process. March 11th of 2006, Stitchez released a free EP entitled, \"Needle & Thread\" Which was a collection of demo songs they did before they began the Sewn Shut project. On March 24th of 2006 Sewn Shut was released. Only 100 copies were originally pressed up and those went in a matter of 2 months. It was a hit considering the close to no promotion and few shows. The name Stitchez grew like an infection across VA and the internet and a fan base grew along with it.In August of 2006, Stitchez began working on their follow up album entitled, \"Reopened Wounds.\" They also began performing more frequently. 2007 has been more active opening for act\'s such as Tech ...
