[Hep Kat]

would love to see someone do the liam the younger reissues

[GnarlyShillelagh]

Not sure if I'm allowed to post here, so if I'm not feel free to delete this, but:

Crippled Black Phoenix dropped an album on the 30th, and the new Les Discrets is slated for February 10th, though I don't know what label either band is on.

[iFghtffyrdmns]

Beth Jeans Houghton - Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose (EMI)

I've got something started for this. On their Facebook it says the release is tomorrow though so idk

[Irving]

If no one is doing the Eisley EP I'll take it.

(I'm quite surprised Trey hasn't dibbed it like, five times over or something)

[Willie]

I did their last full album. I try not to review two new releases by the same band in a row(most of the time).

[Irving]

Gotcha. I'll be sure to try and do it justice with my piece then
