Also, what about THIS?
Check out this awesome summer anthem from Streight Angular. A significant detour from their previous songs, “Alright!” is a yearning dance-punk-new-wave-rock track with a lot of heart. You can listen to the whole EP, which is due out on Friday, at their Bandcamp page.
Also, don’t miss their EP release show this Friday at the House of Blues front room. They’ll be playing with The Woodrow Wilsons and Night Fruit. The show is at 9pm and is FREE! What more could you want, honestly?

Our good friend and yours Elijah Wyman just got done working in the studio with Scott Solter, and we’re very proud of the results…
Particularly this one…

“Small Towns” brings Elijah’s tiny mtns project to that next level. With the help of Scott’s studio wizardry (he has helped such artists as Jon Vanderslice and the Mountain Goats in the past), we find tiny mtns probably a mile further down the road of pop songwriting and sound quality than he has ever been before. With a taste of raggae, a heart connected to the average man, and rhythm that will stick with you for weeks and weeks, Elijah has found his new voice.
We really hope you enjoy it.
And while you’re at it… Why not check out this video by “In The Car Media“, friends of Grinding Tapes who are currently at work on a Dreamtigers video (goosebumps). This was their submission into this year’s Boston 48 Hour Film Festival:
In The Green (48 Hour Film Project 2010) from IN THE CAR MEDIA on Vimeo.
The video is still in the running for awards from the annual film festival. But besides being a very well made film, it prominently features tiny mtns’ “Small Towns” during the credits.
Don’t forget that our two-night Grinding Tapes showcase at The Armory in Somerville is coming up on Friday, April 16th and Saturday, April 17th. Tickets are $9 for one night and we are offering a limited number of double-night passes for $14 each! This venue is really small, so we encourage you to buy tickets in advance (sold directly through GT, no special fees).

Hey folks,
I just wanted to mention that I have a new EP coming out called tiny mtns. I’ll be touring in Aug. in support of it, so if you’re on the East Coast be sure to check to see if I’ll be in your town. It would be awesome to see you at a show. Here’s a song off it called Thicket Holds a Ram. I hope you like it. If you do, you can pre-order the EP here

I am super excited to see Toronto indie folk up-and-comers and recent Paper Bag signees, Rock Plaza Central when they unveil to Boston their highly-anticipated sophomore release Sunday night at TT the Bear’s. The album, which came out this past Tuesday, has a name that makes Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band seem succinct. You can pick up …At the Moment of Our Most Needing, Or If Only They Could Turn Around, They Would Know They Weren’t Alone in CD format at the show, or you can get one of 300 limited edition silk-screened 12″ records at the Paper Bag website.
