Not sure how this all happened at the same time, but somehow we got roped into doing three 7″s. Fortunately, they’re all pretty kickass, as we’re sure you will come to agree. Where do we begin…

The first one comes to us in the form of a split 7″ for tour. Yep, one song from Dan Andriano and one from Brendan Kelly. Those two old chums are doing a tour of Europe together in June/July and they claim to be traveling by train, so stock up the Bar Car. We know that jaunt is gonna end in disaster, but fuck it, at least we all get a sweet new 7″ to check out. We’ve heard the songs and can confirm their awesomeness: Danny’s swaying lullaby is reminiscent of last year’s amazing Hurricane Season, while Brendan gives us another one of his deviant rock songs that we’ve come to expect from the Wandering Birds. We will save some for mailorder, so you won’t have to attend a show in order to pick one of these up, but I hear Vienna is wonderful in the Summertime. Just sezzin’.

Also coming out this Summer in time for a tour will be a new 4-song 7″/EP from our favorite Mountain Mongos, Elway. Those dudes will be doing some touring with Teenage Bottlerocket in July and we’ll have the EP out by then. It’s their first new material since their breakout record, Delusions, and we think you’re gonna be just as stoked. Soon there will be more info, song samples, pre-order shit, etc etc.

Lastly, we’ll be doing a split 7″ that will pair up Red Scare ruffians The Brokedowns and Minneapolis mofos, The Slow Death. Heard some of the music, and I guess they’re somehow doing THREE songs on each side. Might need to add an extra inch on to that one, eh? It’ll be good though, we love both of these bands and it’s about time they give the world some new songs. We’ll keep ya posted on that and all these other 7″s too; just follow us on Twitter and watch the details unfold. Shit yeah.
