In celebration of the gigs, the boys will have a brand new single in tow from us (Soft Abuse) that features two new tunes worth chewing. The A side ("I Wanna See You") is a chugging anthem of desperation, and on the flip ("The Nectarine Tree") things get spacious and meditative in a real basement way. Great single. Pick it up from the band & soon from us (buy two), and be sure to go and see them...shower them with your coin and hospitality. 

A teaser for the single:



This post will probably not get updated beyond this point, so keep eyes peeled to the Soft Abuse events page or even twitter (good lord god) for the latest twists and turns.
