Excerpt:

Weekend Edition Sunday, May 25, 2008 - Four years ago, a couple of friends dropped out of their small Midwestern college and went to San Diego. They wanted to make it big in the music industry. The band Augustana has been touring almost nonstop ever since.

The group has released their second album, Can’t Love, Can’t Hurt. The single is called “Sweet and Low.” Three of Augustana’s band members—frontman and singer Dan Layus, guitarist and vocalist Chris Sachtleben and singer John Vincent—joined NPR’s Ari Shapiro in Studio 4A to play music from the new record and talk about the surprising success the group is enjoying.

On the left side of the page, they also mention the cover contest and forum member Mina’s cover is one of the ones featured!
