So Brendan and Dan went on a European Vacation this Summer, right? And on that recent tour they came across a young, endearing Brit by the name of Sam Russo. You may have heard of our Sam because he’s been on a split with Chuck Ragan, joined the Revival Tour on stage, played shows with dudes like Dave Hause and Ben Nichols, etc. Well, we were told that we NEED to meet Sam and we’re gonna love him because he likes Cuba, is crazy talented, and is an exemplary gentleman. Turns out, after talking to Sam… it’s all true! So coming soon, we’ll be bringing you his debut full length, entitled Storm. If we had to do a “For fans of” type recommendation, I would cite stuff like John K. Samson, Sundowner, and Ryan Adams. Stay tuned to our Twitter and whatnot for streaming music and album info. Until then, check out Sam on Facebook and give him some love.

In completely unrelated news, we’re pressing up some LPs this Fall and wanted y’all to know about it first. We don’t typically offer vinyl through mailorder because the Red Scare hovel/HQ is too small, but we’re gonna try it because we have some new 12″s: The Holy Mess Cande, Nothington Borrowed Time, and Elway Delusions. We’re also working on the Masked Intruder LP and a re-stock of The Copyrights Learn The Hard Way LP that has been outta stock for a while. As you probably know, vinyl is expensive to manufacture, package, and ship, but if you’re a record nerd you can head over to the Red Scare Store and fulfill your fantasies. And speaking of fantasies, how ’bout we wrap this up with a pic of our new friend, Sam Russo:
