STRUNG OUT CELEBRATES 20TH ANNIVERSARY BY RELEASING A NEW ALBUM
It may seem odd that a band with six studio albums, five 7-inches, two EPs, a live CD, a B-sides album, and numerous soundtrack and compilation appearances under their belts during the last TWENTY years would name their new album Agents Of The Underground. It doesn’t seem strange to the members of Simi Valley, California punk pioneers STRUNG OUT, who will release their seventh studio album on September 29th via Fat Wreck Chords.

SWELL SEASON PLAYS NEW SONGS @ NPR
Last week the Swell Season made a trip down to DC for a Tiny Desk Concert at NPR. If you’ve never been to a TDC, they’re quite a sight. They’re literally filmed at the desk of NPR’s Bob Boilen and though Glen admitted he’d never held down a desk job before, he and Marketa were totally in their element, performing seven songs mostly from the new album, and even playing the first-ever Tiny Desk encore!
Here is what NPR had to say about the performance: “From quietly mournful sing-alongs to Van Morrison-esque thrill rides, the whole thing doesn’t so much satisfy expectations as feed them further.” Watch it here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=111679769
The new Swell Season album Strict Joy, is out Oct 27 on Anti-. You can read more about it here: http://www.shorefire.com/clients/theswellseason
