so basically, this is just about as good as we’d hoped it would be. “Beat The Devil’s Tattoo,” is the killer title track off the band’s 5th LP due out on march 8. this album is by far one of our most anticipated of the year, and we are straight stoked to get our hands on it. shouts to We All Want Someone To Shout For, for being all over this gem.

“Karen” is previewed from Chew Lips’ debut LP, Unicorn, due at the end of January. their song “Play Together” has grown to be one of our favorite dance-pop tracks of the year, and “Karen” has a similar effect, yet is different with its subtle exploration of catchy guitar work. more than anything though, this tune grows on you.
