This episode were featuring bands from the Apple Stomp line up, coming up on May 31-Jun 1 in NYC. It seems the folks at Asbestos Records felt a need to outdo last year's Skalapalooza line up, and they really pulled it off! You can check out the full line up at https://www.facebook.com/AppleStompNYC

We also thought we'd let you in on a couple crowd funding projects we think you should look into. First up, Courtney from The Prizefighters was nice enough to send us a track from their upcoming 7" vinyl series "A Musical Knockout in 3 Rounds!" You can get in on that at http://bit.ly/Z6YjBD. Next up is Dave Hillyard's project "California". We have a new track from that album. You can get more info on how you can pre-order at http://bigtun.es/projects/index/5

I also wanted to thank Reggie from The Fundamentals for sending us a few tracks and for doing the opening promo. Great tunes, great band out of Montreal. You can get their debut album "Get Alright" from Stomp Records at http://www.stomprecords.com/store/ or if you prefer vinyl, you can grab it over a Jump Up Records at http://jumpuprecords.com/blog/?p=2919
