I wanted to share 2 streams with you today from 2 very incredible bands. The first is Fake Problems “It’s Great to Be Alive”, the 2nd is Ninja Gun “Restless Rubes”. I am putting them together because Fake Problems is taking Ninja Gun out on Tour. We are so excited about this tour (dates below). Rumor has it that both bands will be doing a split 7″ for the tour on Sabot. Ninja Gun recorded a new song that could be one of my favorite NG songs yet.
Check out both streaming players and if you like what you hear, please share the music by embedding the html code into your myspace or blog. Please retweet this post, too. Thanks.
We love Fake Problems, we have for some time now. They were involved with our first ever Under the Influence 7″ w/ Look Mexico. They are great people, and if you have never seen them live, they will rock your socks off. I feel like they are writing better and better music and I think their latest album is by far their best material. Take a listen.
Yes, we are biased, but we think these South Georgian 4 piece are one of the rising stars in music. They write incredible songs that span a number of influences to Classic rock to Punk Rock to Americana. They turn their amps to 11 when they get on stage, and they are some of the nicest folks you will ever meet. Coody, their singer, is one of my favorite people and I just hope that people take a chance and check out their album. Yes, their band name isn’t the greatest, but they write honest music pack full of pop sensibilities. Stoked about this tour and about the dates they have in September with Gaslight Anthem, things are slowly moving in a good direction.
