New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Topshelf Records) Leading up to our SXSW showcase last year I had a slew of emails from friends asking if there was any room for a band to play our show (there 100% wasn't, at all). I listened and liked it and caved and decided to squeeze them on the bill opening the show. That band was New Orleans' Donovan Wolfington. They were awesome and by far the nicest, most courteous people I'd come across in awhile. That day stuck with us and when we heard their new material it was a no-brainer to try and work together on releasing it.
So today we're excited to announce that we're releasing a new EP from the band, Scary Stories You Tell In the Dark, later this spring. Pre-orders will be up at 11:00am EST today (February 26, 2014) (you guys are also the only ones to have first dibs on these too). Until then, you can listen to their new track "Keef Ripper".
