Hey Girl! – Spill your guts!

So, the first time I gave this LP a once through, I wasn’t super thrilled with it. I snaked it based on a review out of Razorcake or something. Sometimes you miss the fish and shoot the barrel, they can’t all be winners. But for some whimsical reason I sat down and decided to give this a once through again. *clears throat* A’WHOA! This is pretty good. I’m not here to write an essay on why you should pickup this album, but here’s the skinny. If you like the idea of what a couple of angry, yet energetic, young teen musicians have on their minds – and wonder what the ramones first show must have been like in an alternative world where they were truly female, pick it up.

Released by: Thrillhouse Records

fkon-pack.jpgFuture Kings of Nowhere – Cool Kids CD Pack

All CD Packs come w/ a FKoN CD, Sticker and Pin!

Brimming with wit and energy, The Future Kings of Nowhere play acoustic pop-punk antifolk with an occasional bit of country twang. They call it acousticore. High speed acoustic guitars, double-time drumming, lush harmonies, and a slew of auxiliary instruments create a frantic backdrop for these songs of love, death, and modern-day alienation. They sing with a disarming honesty that draws you in and a beat that keeps you moving. The hooks sink deep and the energy is unforgettable. One listen to their debut CD, released in June on 307 Knox Records, and you will be humming these tunes for weeks.
