NYC’s latest D.I.Y. band, The So So Glos, really are lifers. The life-long band of brothers (literally) are releasing a new EP this fall and embarking on a nationwide tour that will take them all over the states.
The new EP, entitled Low Back Chain Shift, is due out October 12 and, just like their live shows, carries the band’s energy and philosophy of D.I.Y. Just like their last EP, it will be released via Green Owl.
In addition to their album, the quartet will also be bringing their energetic live show to the American masses by hitting the road with Matt & Kim and The Futureheads.
Be sure to pick up Low Back Chain Shift EP when it’s released October 12 and catch The So So Glos as they come through your town this fall.

Hailing from the windy city, 
The Radio Dept. don’t use their songs for specific political protests often but when they do, they make sure they don’t go unnoticed. After 2008’s “Freddie And The Trojan Horse,” about the Swedish Right-wing givernment, they are back this week with with “The New Improved Yypocrisy,” released only a few days before the next general election to the Swedish parliament, to be held on September 19th.
Following up on the success of his debut album Speak, Jer Coons is about to release a remix EP called JERemix, featuring six completely transformed and edged out songs from his traditional, acoustic “Vermont Pop” full length. Coons remixed one of the songs himself and left the rest to his friends, while keeping an overseeing eye. The EP, out on Roll Call Records, should hit the stands in the early Fall.
Mt. Desolation is the side-project of Tim Rice-Oxley and Jesse Quinn of Keane, the British band that flooded the airwaves with the single, “Somewhere Only We Know” back in 2004. But don’t expect to hear the same alt-rock tunes from them. Mt. Desolation specializes in country music with indie folk accents and their self-titled debut album will be released on October 19th, 2010 on Cherry Tree Records.
