This post is mostly about other bands.

A few of the bands we met early on when playing shows are still going and are just getting more and more awesome. The first I want to talk about it is Onsind, who I think get more mentions on this blog than any other band and, well, that seems fair considering they are probably one of the best bands going at the moment. Their previous records have been on fairly regular rotation on my ipod for the last 3 years now. They just finished their new record called “Dissatisfactions” and based off the songs I have heard recorded and the others have heard live, I am super excited. Ultra-catchy, super-uplifting but never cheesy or clichéd, please go listen to the new songs and prepare to buy their record. http://www.myspace.com/onenightstandinnorthdakota

The other band is Mega Games 2 who relocated to the Homestead before it closed and self recorded a couple of new records. The acoustic guitar and melodica remain, but with the addition of drums the dynamic has shifted a little and songs seem to dig a little deeper and a soar a little higher, like everything has found its place and nestled in tighter. You can download their new stuff from here: http://killyourown.bandcamp.com/

You can download all of Sam Russos stuff from there too and it would be crazy not to.

Our next show is Manchfester and we’ll bust out a new song we were playing on tour which is a banger. That’s right, I said it. Our new song is banger. What would you expect me to say? “Yeah we got a new song, it’s pretty ok” ? No way!

Well banging.
