Combinations, the second full length from Tyler, Texas pop-rockers, Eisley hits stores tomorrow, August 14th but you can hear it now in its entirety, exclusively on MySpace. Head over to https://myspace.com/eisley for a first listen.

When listening to Eisley?s new album Combinations, it doesn?t take long to hear why the Tyler, Texas quintet has earned such ardent fans. In the first minute of the album?s opener ? the rock-oriented ?Many Funerals? ? sisters and vocalists Stacy and Sherri DuPree trade lines and harmonize with a beauty unique in modern music, as the guitars and drums carry the song along.

Building on the success of their lauded debut Room Noises, the guitar-driven Combinations is a diverse collection of songs that nevertheless fit comfortably together. The lyrics shift effortlessly from romantic to quirky (?Invasion? even involves an alien takeover), but always keep the listener fixated on the track at hand.

But where Room Noises contained a mix of new songs and re-recorded older tunes, Combinations is the band?s first full-length of all new material. ?It was exhilarating for us to have an opportunity to start from scratch,? Stacy says. ?We were excited to start writing this record and, because of that energy, we wrote a lot of the songs very quickly.? The album was produced by former Oingo Boingo keyboardist Richard Gibbs.

Oasis will release a two disc DVD which documents their 2005 world tour titled ‘Lord Don’t Slow Me Down’ internationally on October 29th.

The band is currently writing for the follow-up to 2005’s ‘Don’t Believe the Truth’.

Chiodos have revealed the tracklisting to Bone Palace Ballet. It is possible that there maybe a few other songs featured on special release editions of the album. No details have been given, but in an interview with AltPress they mentioned titles of a few tracks such as:
Memoirs of a Narcoleptic Mountain Man
A Final Opinion Is Of Less Value Than An Appreciation Of And Tolerance For Obscurity

but currently the official track list is as follows:

01) Is it Progression if a Cannibal Uses a Fork?
02) Lexington. (Joey Pea-Pot with a Monkey Face)
03) Bulls Make Money, Bears Make Money, Pigs Get Slaughtered
04) A Letter From Janelle
05) I Didn’t Say I Was Powerful, I Said I Was a Wizard
06) Teeth The Size of Piano Keys
07) Life is a Perception of Your Own Reality
08) If I Cut My Hair, Hawaii Will Sink
09) Intensity In Ten Cities
10) The Undertaker’s Thirst For Revenge Is Unquenchable (The Final Battle)

Album will be in stores on September 4th.
