If you frequent the blogosphere, you've probably heard of Tacks, The Boy Disaster already. They've been featured numerous times on GVB, and Hello Gina, among other places. If not, good luck hearing them on the radio or even purchasing the album on ITunes, Amazon, or pretty much anywhere else.
Tacks hails from Austin, TX and are headed up by Evan Jacobs (formerly of Polyphonic Spree). They recorded their EP Oh, Beatrice at Evan's house, and I don't think they have a label. If you like Midlake, you'll like Tacks, The Boy Disaster. There isn't a lemon on the EP - Smooth vocals, rich keys, fantastical (is that a word?) breakdowns, everything you'd expect from a good Austin band these days.
After listening to their tunes on myspace about 50 times I decided it was time to buy the EP. I'd love to give you more tracks here, but then you won't buy the EP will you? It's definitely worth ordering at only 8 bucks, and think how good you'll feel afterwards. Here's my favorite tune, go check out a few of the others at their myspace and buy the album.

I definitely hear some Police influence in this tune, specifically at about 3:00: "Come with me..." It's totally The Police harmony. The Giant Panther has already registered his dis agreement with my statement which means I would revel in my victory even more if somebody else would second my assessment
