The Features
“Tenderly”
Live @ The Knitting Factory
November 5th, 2011The Damage Is Done lurches out of its slumber to bring to you a new Features song, currently doing its first lap with the band on their Fall 2011 mini-tour. Whoah! “Tenderly” was played last Saturday night when the band played Brooklyn, New York’s Knitting Factory. I’m always pleased to see the band on my home turf (New York City, not Brooklyn; I live in Queens, also known as the borough no one will ever play ever). I was even more pleased to hear a new song that proves that the band still has a voice that is ever-solidifying and ever-confident. “Tenderly” showcases just how tight this band has become. That’s always been one of their strongest suits (you know, up there with being awesome and melting faces with rock), and it’s on display here. I especially love how tight the riff is, just underneath those lush keyboards. Rollum’s drums are as frantic as ever, but they sound constrained, as if they’re about to bust out (all in a good way).
The next Features album is shaping up nicely. Start your anticipation…now.

Send song requests
The Features are a Nashville, Tennessee based rock band. The purpose of this Tumblr is to provide a comprehensive and interactive database
of the Features' music. The blog is named after the Features song "The Damage Is Done."
If you would like any of the unreleased songs featured on this site, you can download them yourself or email me for copies. I am not able to send every Features song I own in one go, mainly because I don't have a way of hosting all the files, and I also gotta keep some song tricks up my blog sleeve. Specific song requests are the easiest ones to fulfill. It might take a little while to respond but I will try my best. I will not send songs that have been officially released in any capacity, so buy their albums.
