NEWS - MARCH 2012PARLOR 7" "Life Stays Great" OUT NOW!
It's been tough to describe this band, which speaks highly for any group. This three-piece unit from Carbondale, IL play super-tight punk rock, but to say that already puts them in a corner from which they quickly move beyond. They are defined by slinky yet powerful riffs, precise drumming, the ability to play any time signature without sounding overly-technical or "mathy." Terrific hooks are born from all three members often singing together and harmonizing well, but it's hardly pop music. Sometimes I think "Man or Astroman" but it defies the surf genre too. Witness for yourself! This is a split release with our friend and neighbor Let's Pretend Records. Artwork from our own Erin Tobey. NEWS - FEBRUARY 2012FULL SUN "Bare Floor" Cassette is out now! This is the bottom half of the "High Ceiling" release from September, and just as much the prequel as the sequel. Some brand new songs, some that are over 3 years old - but you'll have to guess. It contains 8 or 9 songs total, depending on how you look at, and includes a cover of the Abe Froman song "Russian 101" and generally just more of the same. If you never picked up the High Ceiling cassette, why not grab them both while supllies last? Head on over to the SHOP page!
