It was as I was writing my Russian lit paper yesterday that I recalled the greatness of modern prog-rock band 3. Their song "Rabid Animals" suddenly cut through the post-rock that had previously been providing some pleasant ambiance, banishing all thoughts of Dostoevsky. This is a band you need to check out--they're excellent songwriters, with a unique sound anchored by frontman Joey Eppard's soaring vocals and flamenco-inspired acoustic guitar virtuosity. "Rabid Animals," from their 2009 album "Revisions," is one insanely catchy, groove-oriented track. Don't miss Eppard's insane slap-tapping guitar fill at the 2:30 mark.
