NEW Jake Mann + The Upper Hand "Get What You Came For" Video from Terror Eyes!

We are beyond thrilled to bring you this, the new Jake Mann + The Upper Hand video for "Get What You Came For" from Terror Eyes! <---Click here, or on the image, to watch it! Jake's newest LP, "Parallel South", is newly out on Crossbill Records (the label that brought us all Sea of Bees last year), and nice folks have been singing its deserved praises.

"'Parallel South' feels like a sonic postcard from another place and time - say, the Midwest by way of the feel-good all-American rockers of the '80s ('Below the Line,' 'Days Are Long') or the South, courtesy of loping, soul-inflected pop ('Run Away')."--SF Chronicle


"a seriously addictive slice of immediate power pop-rock..."--The Bay Bridged


"refined jangle and semi-ironic blue-eyed soul ..."--There Stands The Glass


"...a mix of melodic pop and the best of 90s guitar bands, with singer-songwriter Mann’s layer of grainy, sometimes Dylan-esque vocals landing on top of the pot. They sound even better live than they do on the record, so mark your calendars: the guys are worth another visit when they take the stage for a free show at Noise Pop Happy Hour on February 25th."--SF Station



...as the last quote noted, Jake & Co. are playing this year's Noise Pop on 2/25, as well as in Davis on 2/22. Details below. Please do get in touch for your copy of the record!

Triumph Of Lethargy Skinned Alive To Death Makes MAGNET A Mix Tape

"Triumph Of Lethargy Skinned Alive To Death is the longwinded name of the Seattle-based quartet comprised of Spencer Moody (Murder City Devils), Andrea Zollo (Pretty Girls Make Graves), Corey J. Brewer and Joel Cuplin. Besides its stellar lineup, this band will force you into a state of awe and utter respect between its drone-y, eerie sound and devil-may-care attitude (its catch phrase being, “We do what we want. We will never break up”). Oh, and this killer mix tape (check out the video playlist) the band members made for MAGNET helps, too. Newest LP,Some Of Us Are In This Together, is out now via Don’t Stop Believin’ Records." Head over to Magnet to check the amazing playlist... you're going to get an education with this one!
