Next up - An Epic at Best's Spelling Sounds EP

You haven't heard the last from An Epic at Best after all. The band finished off an EP's worth of material before playing its last show last September, and we've all decided it's too good to keep to ourselves! Look for a Juneish release, and maybe some other summer surprises.

Also on the horizon - Faith Kleppinger's Boulevards

Faith Kleppinger's third release, Boulevards, is nearing completion as well, and is in line for a late summer release. Boulevards picks up right where No Galore left off, with Faith once again being backed by various members of the "Bloomington Mafia." Until we get some tunes up in our audio section, hop over to Faith's MySpace page for a taste of what's to come.
