Win a Copy of The Eastern Sea’s "EPII"

November 10, 2009
Long-time readers of the blog should know that I’m a big fan of Austin-based The Eastern Sea.  I first profiled the band in the now-defunct “mmm” feature almost two years ago, and reviewed a copy of the band’s debut EP back in July of 2008, giving it a rather-impressive 8/10 rating!
Well The Eastern Sea is back with a just-released EP, simply titled EPII (iTunes Link), and Audio Overflow has not one, but TWO copies to give away to our faithful readers (ok, and anyone else who decides to enter the contest).  This contest will work exactly the same as Audio Overflow’s Wallpaper Giveaway a few weeks back.
All you have to do is send an email to audiooverflow@gmail.com with “The Eastern Sea” written in the subject box.  Include in the body of the message your Name and Mailing Address where I can ship the EP to you if you win.  Two winners will be drawn from a hat, bag, or other convenient receptacle at random Monday, November 16.  You have until midnight on November 15 to enter.  The full, legal nonsense is below if you must read.
Good luck everybody!
