“The Indie Rock Poster Book” Gets A Release Date

Yellow Bird Project, a Montreal-based non-profit organization, and illustrator Andy J. Miller have teamed up once again to find a way to celebrate indie rock while benefiting charities of those same indie rock artists.  After the success of 2009’s The Indie Rock Coloring Book, the team is set to release The Indie Rock Poster Book on May 7th.  This book will feature 30 different full color posters inspired by indie rock songs such as Bon Iver’s “Skinny Love” and Iron & Wine’s “The Trapeze Swinger.”  The book will be available at www.yellowbirdproject.com.

Mean Creek Offer Up Free EP


Boston-based rock quartet Mean Creek recently made their way to Brooklyn to record a new EP with legendary producer John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., The Hold Steady, etc.). After being named “Best Boston Act” by the readers of The Boston Phoenix and receiving nominations at this year’s Boston Music Awards for “Album of the Year” and “Song of the Year” for their track “The Comedian,” Mean Creek entered the studio earlier this month with Agnello in an attempt to capture their distinct live sound and energy onto recording. The resulting EP, entitled Hemophiliac, is now available for free download on the band’s BandCamp site.
