Fronted by lyricist Bill McCarthy, We Are Augustines are a band with a message. The Brooklyn-based outfit share their outlook on coping with hard times on their first full-length, Rise Ye Sunken Ships, which was released in 2011. This alternative record urges listeners to have a glass-half-full view on the misfortunes that arise in life. We Are Augustines will play with Band Of Skulls on March 22 at Webster Hall, March 23 at Union Transfer in Philly and March 27 at the Music Hall Of Williamsburg in Brooklyn.
