For music fans who have been aching and searching for guitar pop of the caliber and quality the music industry hasn't produced since the early 90's, the search is over. On September 20th, MoRisen Records will fill that void with the national debut of 12,000 Armies. With the release of THE MIRTH OF THESE DAYS, 12,000 Armies will have you humming new melodies thinking you just ran into an old friend you haven't seen in a long time but really missed. The album was recorded in Charlotte, N.C. at Cougar Camp Studios with Justin Faircloth and mixed by Brian Paulson (Beck, Wilco, Superchunk). The music maker behind 12,000 Armies is Justin Williams who has fused the best elements of southern pop into songs reminiscent of the best material from the DB's. And if you think Justin's voice sounds familiar, you may recognize it (but a much more amped up version of it) from his other band, The Talk. THE MIRTH OF THESE DAYS is a unique combination of Justin's brilliant pop songwriting with the musical talent of some of Charlotte's finest musicians that ultimately creates a tasty album with hints of stripped down XTC and a touch of Cheap Trick.Hear it www.12000armies.com
