Hello,
The Glös full length, Harmonium , is now available for order on the Lovitt website. The official release date is March 27th . You can also buy the single, “Public Speaker,” on iTunes or you can download it for free from eMusic if you are a subscriber to their service. For those not familiar, Glös started as a laptop file exchange between Keeley Davis (former frontman of Engine Down and bass/synth player for Denali and currently in Sparta) and Cornbread Compton (former drummer of Engine Down, Biology, and currently Heavens). After collaborating on over 20 songs and never having physically played the songs together in a rehearsal environment, the duo invited Keeley’s sister Maura Davis (former frontwoman of Denali) to join the project and to add her beautiful, sultry vocals to the songs, and after two years of writing and refining, Glös has its first album.
Till the end of the month, we will be having a sale on all Engine Down records, the Bughummer CD and the Denali DVD. Its a good time to check out some of the members’ previous projects when you pick up the Glös cd.
The long-awaited Ben Davis & the Jetts / Des Ark split entitled Battle of The Beards is now out and getting rave reviews. Alternative Press put it best when they called it “A Match Made In Indie-Rock Heaven.” Des Ark has been doing some East Coast shows to support the release and is planning a five-week tour this summer. Before hitting the road this summer, Des Ark plans on recording a new full-length. Ben Davis & the Jetts will be touring Europe with Fin Fang Foom in June and hope to do some East Coast shows in May before going across the pond.
Haram has been writing new material and is planning on recording a new full length in the near future. Jeff Kane recently left the band and was replaced by long-time friend Kevin Longendyke (City of Caterpillar). The band is now also a five-piece, with the newest addition being Ben Tankersley. The band is going to be starting to playing out live with the new line-up in April.
Bats & Mice who are back to their original line up of Ben Davis, David NeSmith, and Jonathan Fuller, have begun working on their next full-length.
Decahedron has released two digital-only records. One is a live radio performance from WPRK, and the other comprises outtakes and unreleased material. You can find these on iTunes, eMusic, download punk, and many other services!
The Cassettes are currently on a long US tour and have CD and vinyl copies of their Lovitt S/T full-length with them. Their tour dates are on our site; check them out if they come through your town!
Anyone that has any recent footage of any of the bands, please do get in touch as we might be able to use it.
