Embrace the power that is Dads…
Welcome Dads to the family!
We are super proud to announce and welcome our favorite Dads to the Flannel Family!
Dads released this statement…
“We are very proud to announce that we will be releasing our full length, “American Radass (this is important)” through Flannel Gurl Records from Virginia. This is a big step in both our lives and we couldn’t be happier to be taking this walk with Flannel Gurl. They have proven to us in the past couple months that they will hold our hands in the dark, light some candles and never talk about it if we stink a little, cook us soup when we are sick, and buy us the “just because” presents, without it having to be a holiday.
“We will be recording at Format Audio studios in Haverhill, MA at the end of March. They are responsible for My Heart to Joy’s last three releases (Virgin Sails, Seasons in Verse, and Reasons to Be) as well as The World Is/Deer Leap split, among many other great productions. Once we are done with that we will be hitting the road with The Reptilian for most of April, stopping off at Get Better Fest in New Hampshire and Stay Sweet fest in Virginia, as well as touching base with the entire midwest/east coast.
“Once we have the songs in our possession, we plan to release one each week to the interwebs through music blogs/news sites which will then result in the entire record being up for streaming and a pre-order beginning on the LP itself.
“Once “American Radass (this is important)” is officially released, we will embark on a long tour down the east coast to Florida and over to Texas and back, in support of the release.
“These are exciting times in the lives of everyone involved and we cannot wait share this all with you’nz.”
