After a decade spent as ghost detainees incarcerated at an undisclosed detention camp, the legendary and incendiary Followers return with an album hailed as “Un-American” and labeled “Subversive” by the Department of Homeland Security and the hegemonic Christian Coalition. Long feared confiscated or deleted under the auspices of the inestimable Patriot Act, the insurrectionary and vitriolic album dubbed ‘Secret Handshake’ finally makes its commercial debut. Admittedly an intractable reaction to animal vivisection, authoritarianism, and rampant fascism in America, and inspired to a great extent by psychotropic and flammable solvents, the release of the mercurial and vehement 10 track recording promises to deliver The Followers back into CIA hands to be remanded in Eastern Europe for another decade.

Let You Down Easy features appearances by Don Sanders (Medicine Ball), Dave Narcizo (Throwing Muses), Jeffrey Underhill (Velvet Crush), Eric Fontana, Sarah Lupo, and other Rhode Island musicians.

A PASSING FEELING’s debut LP and follow-up to the critically acclaimed self-titled EP (2005, 75orLess) finds the band breaking new ground, with a grittier, darker, and more developed version of the hyper-pop sound they created one year ago. This is a record of unmatched life and intensity; Every track finds the band breathing and breaking down, spitting out an original combination of pop hooks and raucous pounding drums and guitars. This record was made to be chanted in basements across America. The lyrics reflect the dirtier parts of early twenties life – drinking, driving, bliss, heartache and everything else in between. Produced by Mark Ospovat (Wooden Wand, Parts and Labor, Meneguar).

In 2005, Providence, RI’s Lame Drivers secretly released The Captain Amazing EP – five hook-filled and fuzzed out songs conceived in a New Jersey basement, developed in Providence, and messily birthed onto a handful of CD-Rs. Then they went on hiatus. Now they’re back with this reissue of their debut EP plus five bonus tracks. Lame Drivers make DIY punk-informed pop rock inspired by the unpredictable eclecticism of freeform radio. Such classic, vital tunes are hard to come by these days. Not far removed from GBV, Replacements, Hüsker Dü, The Zeros, Elvis Costello, The Capstan Shafts.
