The other night, we noted that Not Lame was featuring a 2001 release by a band called The Other Half, which really sounded good from the samples. And then we noted that we couldn't find anything on them online.
Well, thanks to helpful reader Art Bang, I now know that The Other Half broke up and the two guys behind the band, brothers Justin and Brandon Tapp, reformed as The Drawing Board. And they can be heard (and downloaded, since they've enabled those links) at their myspace page. They have an EP out already, and a new full-length in the works. The myspace tracks are from the forthcoming full-length, and they sound very good. It'll be worth your while to take a few minutes to head over there and stream and/or download them.

"It's a Lie" on the myspace site is so sweet! Played on my radio show a couple weeks back and got calls right away. Check it out.
If you listen hard, you can hear Other Half songs in TV shows ranging from A&E's "Roller Girls" to Cinemax's "Coed Confidential", to name a few. It's a shame; the Other Half has garnered more success posthumously than in it's heyday, especially considering those who put forth great effort into those songs still to this day have nothing to show for it...
