Twinesoundings.
Recent Twine press finds them in the studio for XLR8R and as a guest
reviewer in URB. They recently returned from their Escape From The Empire
European tour, and photostrips are posted in our news at the site, as well
as a link to their Junkmedia.org feature. Look for Twines new Mini-LP,
Violets (GI-36), in stores this summer.

Everythingss gone Dear.
Matthew Dear graced the cover of Real Detroit Weekly this past week and new
features in Big Shot and CMJ New Music Monthly are on the way. The follow
up to the acclaimed Leave Luck To Heaven, a Mini-LP of oddly funky vocals
and subtle electronics, is released this summer on Spectral.
