Unsigned Artist of (Last) Week: Your Sweet Uncertainty

I know, I know. Your Sweet Uncertainty could be one of the worst band names in the history of band names. Even Fucked Up is a better band name.

However, give YSU a listen and you'll see that their talent isn't in naming things (God help their children), but rather in making music.

Your Sweet Uncertainty was founded after the death of The Early November. We all know that Ace went on to create Ace Enders and a Million Different People. I can tell you who isn't one of those one million people: Jeff Kummer.

Jeff was the drummer of The Early November and when they split, he went to his boys from the good ol' days: Grace Period. The band had to change their name, and so they came up with Your Sweet Uncertainty (Grace Period was SO much better).

So, to the point: their tunes. If you head to their myspace, start with these two songs: "Hey Baby," and "Thoughts of Time." I'm afraid that if you don't, you might find the singer's voice really annoying. These two will ease you into it.

There's not much else to say about this band, but if you're a fan of The Early November, Sherwood, and crazy drummers who like getting their ass shaved (I'll give you a dollar if you know what I'm talking about), then you'll probably like Your Sweet Uncertainty.
