CITY OF SHIPS Announce Australian Tour with ROSETTA, NUCLEAR SUMMER
After a short break from their relentless tour schedule our good buddies and tireless road-dogs, City of Ships, will return to the road in late July with a trip down under. The Australian tour marks band’s first outing to the continent and will feature friends and frequent tour mates Rosetta as well as Brisbane’s own Nuclear Summer. The Ships are out supporting their most recent effort, 2011′s acclaimed full length, Minor World, an album co-released by Sound Study Recordings and Translations Loss Records. You can pick up that record on 210 gram vinyl for just $10 HERE.
City of Ships also recently announced that their 2009 LP, Look What God Did to Us, is now available for free digital download HERE.

Post Teens on Purple
Second pressing of the Post Teens 7″ is here and available for sale in the webstore. We’ve got 300 copies on purple vinyl. I really feel like the deep purple brings out Daniel’s eyes.
Bobby Brown Joins The Future Now
Valdosta, GA transplant Bobby Brown has taken on second guitar on duties for Gainesville grunge enthusiasts, THE FUTURE NOW. When not holding down the second part of TFN’s guitarmonies, Bobby drums for Gainesville brethren, CHRIS WOLLARD & THE SHIP THIEVES. The band unveiled their new line-up last weekend with a performance at The Atlantic with Cheap Girls and The Menzingers. Their latest effort is the “Hangman b/w The Runaway” 7″, a record co-released by SOUND STUDY RECORDINGS and KISS OF DEATH RECORDS. THE FUTURE NOW will take their expanded show on the road in June with friends HAWKS AND DOVES for a jaunt up and down the East Coast (dates soon!) and will play FEST 11 in Gainesville. The band’s new 7″ and debut full length, Hazy Orange Sunday, can be downloaded digitally completely free here and here.
