I remember just listening to some heavy music and I went to my friends myspace and "I Wasn't Prepared" was playing. I INSTANTLY fell in love with it. I'm like "Who the heck is singing this song?" I would go on my friends myspace just to hear it. As soon as my friend told me it was Eisley, it snowballed from there.

I heard Memories first, since it was the first song they played at the first of the 9 back to basics shows i went to. I didn't like them much then, but by the second time seeing them i loved them lol.

Hah, I actually remember totally not liking them at all. I was like "What the heck is this?" Then a little later I heard some of their songs again and it hit me. Aha!

sometimes i wish they wouldve cleaned up that version of lost at sea...it was so much...dreamier.

Tree Tops! Smile Ahhh the memories...

My friend was all "DUDE Olivia you have to check out this band. You will love them!" So I downloaded the first song I saw by them on Limewire, and the obsession began. Very Happy

I was at the school gym, and they were playing the Telescope Eyes video on MtvU. The video, music, and Sherri singing (couldn't help but notice that she was cute-looking and playing guitar) stood out to me more than the other videos playing that time. I really didn't think much of it, I didn't try to find out about the band or their music afterward. But I asked my friend for some music recommendations and she told me about Eisley. That's when I attempted to find their songs, and there you have it. Another fan.

I can't remember which song they played first when they opened for Snow Patrol in Dallas last October.

We bought both EPs at the show, and they were on shuffle and played Telescope Eyes.

I had seen them in a magazine, but didn't really think about them much, but then I was watching music videos and saw Marvelous Things. And I was hooked.

Yeh, I first listened and saw Eisley's "Marvelous Things" on TVU, too. I knew I was gonna be a big fan after I saw it. I loved how they did the video differently than any of the other videos on TVU and they were more toned down when it came to the screaming rock bands on there.

About 2 or 3 days after that I bought the 2 EPs at a store and AHHHHH.... "Sea King" has been one of my huge favorites ever since!
