Alex G. - Message
You can check me out waving, failing to get Roman’s attention but Alex G killed it!
The only sets we missed were R.L. Kelly and Coma Cinema. Stay tuned for everything else
Band: Feudalism
Band location: Clifton, New Jersey
Why we like it: Feudalism is a folk punk band out of my hometown. So first let me say, holy fuck, this is one of the most impressive EP’s I’ve listened to in a long time. They just put out their second album Form/Function and I’ve had it on repeat for a few days now. I recommend this to any fans of Blackbird Raum and Andrew Jackson Jihad. This is up on bandcamp at the hot price of pay what you want. Toss these dudes a few bucks!

Old Gray - “Her Tongue was Tattooed on the Back of Her Teeth”
YO MY BOYS OLD GRAY AND THE VILLAGE BASEMENT SESSION AKA JOHNNY K GOT TOGETHER AND DID SOMETHING. CHECK IT OUT
Band: Owl Creek Bridge
Location: Houston, Texas
Why we like it: Owl Creek Bridge is the solo work of Whales guitarist, Jordan Faour. The recordings are really lo-fi, somewhat distant and it all works out perfectly. It opens up with a sample from The Twilight Zone over some a reverbed, looped, drone styled guitar track. Throughout the EP (especially during the last track) I can’t help but think of Phil Elverum’s work in The Microphones and Mount Eerie.

Band: Algebrahs
Band location: Arizona/New Jersey
Why we like it: This one’s a little awkward. This is our band. After a very long time Zach and I have decided to release these songs for free (pay what you want) on bandcamp. The album art was done by our very good friend Mikko Serrano. You can check out some of his work by clicking here. We hope you enjoy it! We’d really appreciate it if you reblogged this and shared it with your friends.
Where to get it: Bandcamp
At the time of my writing this we have 16,860 remaining free downloads and have made our whole Bandcamp page pay-what-you-want until they run out. If this gets over 1,000 notes on Tumblr I’ll buy 10,000 more free downloads. Go wild: http://topshelfrecords.bandcamp.com/
Topshelf Records has a bunch of stuff up on their bandcamp for free. Don’t fuck up! The free downloads are most likely going fast
