So what do we have to start off the year with? The Howlies. The Howlies full-length debut album comes out on February 3rd from OverUnder Records. "Tripping with Howlies" is sure to pump some energy into these long winter nights. How do I know? Well, its the first day back from our holiday break and my energy shot right up as the first track started playing in the office. You've probably heard about "Sea Level" by now. Its been bumping along on the interweb for a while now. Named a Spin magazine artist of the day in early December (with a free download of the track "Chimera") and an artist to watch out for by Paste magazine, you're sure to hear much more about the |

Howlies this year. "Atlanta, GA, quartet Howlies' upcoming debut, Trippin' with Howlies, is like a rock history textbook written by the classroom's smart alecs...Drawing influence from rock'n'roll's greats -- from the Velvet Underground's loose jangle and the Stooges' brash punk to Chuck Berry's '50s teen boogie and Sam Cooke's candy-coated doo-wop -- ...one things remains constant -- light-hearted fun." -Spin.com Recorded over 42 hours in California with production by Kim Fowley (Modern Lovers, Gene Vincent) Tripping with the Howlies is sure to bring some fun into the new year for you. Check out their live show as they continue to criss-cross the country after a fall filled with CMJ appearances and a hometown new year's eve show! |

Seriously... Carry this record. At the very least check out the tunes online. You won't be sorry. This record will be available through Edge and Electric Fetus. If you did not get a promo with the recent Howlies package we sent out and would like one, please email us and we'll send it out.
In general news two amazing events just took place. For starters Pitchfork just reviewed Mason Proper's OLLY OXEN FREE released by Dovecote and gave it a 6.9! You can check out that review HERE. AND... Say Hi signed to Barsuk records and will be releasing an album March 3rd. We couldn't be more excited that two of our long-time friends (and occasional drinking partners) formed an alliance to bring you what we promise is nothing short of awesome.
