Herman Put Down the Gun — EP
Sonia Tetlow just released a few songs from one of her previous (or should I say latent?) projects, Herman Put Down the Gun. And you should listen to it. Not only does the cover conveniently match the color palate on…
Johnny Hickman — Tilting
Hey! Listen! It’s not too late to win your very own digital download of The Sparklers’ new album. And since nobody has entered the contest so far, if you comment you’ll have a 100% chance of winning! But on to…
