Denver indie alt-rockers, My Body Sings Electric, released their fully DIY EP, Franklin Tapes: Side A, back in November. The EP made waves by hitting the #1 trending article on Alternative Press for their fantastic stop-motion video for “Unimpressive.” Now, the band are spicing things up again by announcing the follow-up promptly titled, Franklin Tapes: Side B, which is set to be released on February 26th!

When discussing the EP, the band states, “For [Franklin Tapes] we decided to completely disrupt the way we had done things in the past…it was honestly time to uproot and change the way we had been doing things over past six years. We really wanted this release to sound honest. The whole group erased any thought of writing for a specific sound. The songs aren’t trying to be anything, they just are what they are. We like the rawness that resulted from that change of perspective.“

Seattle pop-rocker, Isaiah Dominguez, has announced the release of his new EP, The Evergreen State. To be released on February 5th, the EP is Dominguez’s first full band release and features notable Northwest-area artists including Gavin Phillips (This Providence) and singer/songwriter Amanda Markley. When discussing The Evergreen State, Dominguez had this to say, "I think the greatest part about this record is that it’s 100% real. These songs have actual, tangible people/places/feelings behind them. I felt the best way to present a record with that type of weight was through raw, un-autotuned, live rock n roll. In creating it, I think I was finally able to find my sound and voice the long overdue Thank You’s to a region that’s supported my dreams from the very beginning.“
