Fanatic! I hope your weekend is going splendidly. Please check out the information on all these cool upcoming releases below!
The excellent Unrest album Perfect Teeth is getting a two LP reissue on March 28. I’m so glad Teenbeat Records did this. I can’t wait to hear this one. I think all Unrest albums are worth checking out but Perfect Teeth is my favorite. Perfect spring-summer listening.

Here’s the info for the new Horsegirl album Phonetics On And On, scheduled to release on February 14. Since we’re still exploring their first album, we’re going to get into the new one on March 8. Pacing, Fanatic!

Escape-ism has a new album called Charge Of The Love Brigade coming out on March 7. Ian Svenonius sent me the tracks last week. It’s a great record. We’ll start listening on March 8.

Kim Salmon, one of my favorites of all time has an album coming out called Smoked Salmon on February 28. As you might expect we’ll be getting into this one big time. We are playing one of the tracks from it tonight. It was released as a 7” weeks ago.

I have firsthand information about a recording session that wrapped up recently. I’m not at liberty to disclose any more information but I can say there’s a good chance the tracks will be coming out later this year and we have some great music to look forward to. When I have a solid release date, I’ll remind you of this note.
As far as tonight’s excellent gathering of tunes, it’s a great one! Hopefully it will provide a good soundtrack whenever you get a chance to check it out. We finished next week’s show yesterday. Around this time next week we will report to you with all the information. Until then, have a great night of listening, a tremendous weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!
