Augustine is Dead. We Are The Third Man.

About Me

We showed all of this to our parents:
"At once retro and cutting edge, contemplatively arty and hard rocking, few local bands in recent memory have seemed so perfectly on the cusp of something fresh and great." - Mark Jordan (The Commercial Appeal)
"They are the type of band that would justify a thesaurus designed exclusively for music writers. There is no choice but to fall back on tired crutches like "soaring" or "grandiose." The Third Man (formerly Augustine) manages to throw in unconventional rhythms, dynamic scares, and almost per-song episodes of guitar thunder and extravagance." - Andrew Earles (The Memphis Flyer)
"Crashing onto the Memphis music scene less the three years ago, The Third Man (formerly Augustine) has garnered critical cachet as well as building a solid fan base that stretches well beyond Bluff City boundaries. Difficult to describe but easy to love, their sound meshes brit-rock with electronica and soul with lo-fi art rock, a combination that could quite possibly break the time/space continuum." - Amanda Dent (Live From Memphis)
