Welcome to our new site! Pretty classy, eh? We’ve got a lot to share, so let’s get to it. First off, Oberhofer’s “Away Frm U” 7” is now available for pre-order. A limited number of the singles were pressed on clear vinyl. If you’d prefer a clear copy, please add a note to your PayPal order. Also, they’re about to hit the road for an extensive U.S. tour. After spending Jan. with some other bands to watch in ‘11, they’ll support Austin’s Tapes ‘n Tapes for the entire month of February. All dates below.
On a separate note, we’re extremely excited to announce the release of Bass Drum of Death’s debut LP, GB City, on February 22nd. BDOD is a duo from Oxford, Mississippi that has released singles on Fat Possum and Baby Don’t Records. They play blown-out garage pop anthems that sound like what would happen if The Stooges ate a bunch of ecstasy and tried to write girl group songs. The album’s first single, “Heart Attack Kid,” is available for download at Raven Sings The Blues. Get into it!
