Surprising, then, are the few rare times when language meets product, and an album breathes new life into a seemingly static journey. A great example of this is Catie Curtis’ new record, Stretch Limousine on Fire, which after a string of fairly nondescript and traditional Curtis folk/pop records thrusts her square back on top of her game.
Partisan Records is excited to announce the first leg of tour dates in support of the Deer Tick’s soon-to-be released new record, Divine Providence. Besides an appearance at Bestfest in
The weather was hot and trying as temperatures reached record heights of more than 100 degrees, but this didn’t stop festival-goers from braving the heat in lieu of more cushy accommodations.
