Philly's Snails Release Short Film: "Live from The East Room"

I feel like a total dolt for not having Philly's killer ska-soul-rocksteady outfit The Snails fully on my radar much, much sooner. Late last summer, they recorded and released their fantastic debut album, From Kingston to Memphis, which is available as a digital download--and you can preview the tracks here, too (and I need to review it!).

This new short film directed and edited by Daniel Kontz, "Live from The East Room," captures The Snails performing three tracks ("Young at Heart," "Preserve the Roots" and "Move On") from their album live for the cameras. And if this doesn't seal the deal and sell some albums, I don't know what will.

The Snails will be playing NYC toward the end of this month--make sure to check them out at The Trash Bar in Brooklyn on March 23, 2012 with The Rudie Crew.
