Returning with their second album, the Brooklyn-based indie rock trio, Augustines, plays Feb. 19 at the House of Blues in Dallas.

The trio is made up of guitarist Billy McCarthy, drummer Rob Allen an instrumentalist Eric Sanderson.

On Feb. 4, the band released this self-titled follow-up to their debut album, ‘Rise Ye Sunken Ships.’ Formerly known as We are Augustines, the current self-titled album allows for the new name of Augustines to make its mark over the past, as well as offer a fresh start from the elegiac undertones of the previous album.

Contained in the band’s website (weareaugustines.com) are all the lyrics of both their past and present albums (venture here to discover the band’s journey from tragedy to new life).

Tonight, in the Cambridge Room at the House of Blues, Augustines will perform in their second stop in their 2014 tour.

Rolling Stone praised Augustine’s first album, saying “the arena-ready ‘Cruel City’ and now ‘Now You Are Free’ lift ‘Ship’s’ roof-raising choruses to U2 levels of ambition with shout-along choruses and rollicking drums.” The band has made both ‘Cruel City’ and ‘Now You Are Free’ available to listen to in full for free on their website (or preview on iTunes, of course).

Doors open at 8 p.m. and the show begins at 9 p.m. You can purchase tickets via the band’s website or straight from the House of Blues online. Tickets are $17.

If you can’t make it to the show, or would perhaps like to hear a bit more detail on the band, check back on Friday for an interview and show review.
