“Recently, the group released their new EP, “As Long As The Devil Is After You,” which is available through iTunes as well as Napster and Rhapsody. The title of the EP comes from a sign outside a church that read “As long as the devil is after you he has not caught you,” an attitude that runs throughout a record that was based largely on the apathetic feelings of a generation that came of age during what some are now labeling “the Lost Decade,” that is, the early 2000’s. The tunes on the new EP are darker than the group’s previous material, but the virtuosity and melody haven’t been compromised. ”

“...live they weren’t piano driven. Or boring. Nothing against our friends in The Fray, there’s just only so many contrived, twinkly melodies I want on one album. They were pleasantly danceable – so I did – and their singer had some lovely flaily guitar moves that immediately won my heart. So cheers to Leaving Araby, they were personable and looked like they actually wanted to be playing to a room of college kids who needed something to do before the house parties started – a feat that many wouldn’t be able to pull off.”

““...a melodic mix of pop, rock and indie, Leaving Araby draws inspiration from famous authors such as James Joyce and TS Elliot as well as musical influences from Jimmy Eat World, The Killers, Coldplay and Death Cab...””
