wow, i've just ben checking out some stuff by OURS, this guys talented, he'll only be living in Jeff Buckley's Shadow for so long, it definatly takes some time to warm up to, but this guy can write amazing, the Video for sometimes is sooo good, his singing is the same live if not better then on the album, and if you read up on them these guys are totally genuine and in it for all the right reasons, if ou like Jeff, or and dark lyrics check these guys out! Try, "Sometimes" "Relize" "Miseryhead" or "Fallen Souls"

they're not for everyone but they definatly are good, it proabbly sucks being compared to Jeff so much though, sure it's a complement, but looking, sounding like, and having a unique style like Jeff must make it soo hard for them to make they're own name, lol i just remembered he was friends with Jeff too......man no wonder everyone compares them

Clumsyboy, man you have good taste in music... Ours, MGB, I Mother Earth, Buckley, OLP...
Anyways, I could go on for hours talking about Ours, but I hate repeating myself, so check back on the various other Ours topics on this board for my input on this unbelievably talented band.
oh... one thing I don't think I mentioned before is that Ours released a indie record back in '92 called "Sour"... only 5,000 copies were made and I was lucky enough to get a hold of the MP3's. I'll pass them around if anyone is interested... just hit me up on ICQ. There are some really great songs on there and no duds. Definitely some of their best stuff ever released.

yep, I have the whole album... have you heard the song "Lotti Di"? Jimmy just goes nuts in that song.. it's like an incredible vocal rollercoaster ride (if that makes any sense 
), it's so awesome... if you need any songs, let me know and I'll send em over. I'm heading back to NYC tuesday and should be back on ICQ/MSN sometime around then..
and yeah, "The Mean Between Extremes" is kickin'... especially that sweet guitar solo!

The best Ours song off of Precious has gotta be "Chapter 2 (Money)"... vintage Ours! especially the solo & epic ending! "In a Minute," while being somewhat short, is also very cool... kinda reminds me of "Lotti Di" in a way. "Realize" would probably be their most rockin radio friendly tune. "Places" gets my vote for most moving/emotional song... one of those rare, balls-out, beautiful performances that'll leave you in awe every time you listen to it.
I'm also a big fan of "Kill The Band" 
Ours is amazing I actually discovered them becuase a girl on the CC always used to say how great they were so I decded to listen. they're now my 2nd favorite band after OLP. i love them SO much.
how did you get Sour?!?! i want it!!!!! Is there any way Icould d/l the songs off of you?
i havent gottena chance to listen to precious as much because i am still listenign to DL, but isn't Leaves a little 9-11esque?? i mentioned that on the ours board too. from what i have listened to off of precious, i love.

Sure thing, I'll pass em along to anyone that wants them... try finding me on MSN/ICQ sometime. If you liked Distorted Lullabies, you'll absolutely love Sour... I think it outmatches Precious on many levels.
okay, I was a lazy bum and didn't download any of their stuff until a few hours ago and I'm totally regretting that now.
waiting so long, I mean.
Jimmy DOES sound like Jeff. creepy. Fallen Souls and Sometimes are my favorites so far.
