THE GREENHORNES
Their new EP "East Grand Blues" (recorded with their friend Brendan Benson) comes out August 2nd on V2 Records.
"The Greenhornes are impressively faithful to the sonic hallmarks of the harder-edge British Invasion bands and their counterparts in the original wave of American garage rock... they've mastered the classic pummeling blues-inspired three minute pop song."

THE WILLOWZ
Their new ablum "Talking in Circles" is out now on Sympathy for the Record Industry.
"Hailing from Anaheim, this just-out-of-their- teens trio debut in the UK with a snappy offering that sounds like it was recorded in a basement in one take, but has the pedal full to the floor on this breathtaking, scream-driven blend of soulful, punk garage. It’s raw and rough, but the energy and melody sail through with ease."
