{UPDATE}
* BENEFIT ALBUM * Our friend Gordon Withers has assembled an incredible compilation of 23 bands for a brand new album called “In Pleasant Company” - It features many DC-area artists like Jay Robbins, The Pauses and Tone… and some colleagues from Louisville including Ryan Patterson and the band Black God. There are also two new covers – one of Shipping News’ early songs and one Rodan track.
Here is the website where you can pre-order the digital version of the album (and preview several songs). There's also one FREE download track >

*There is a limited edition CASSETTE version (yep, tape!) for all the nostalgic mix-tape lovers out there! The official release date is June 8th. All the proceeds will go to help Jason Noble & Kristin Furnish with their current medical expenses.
