Chicago’s Cains & Abels (remember: “My Life Is Easy”) have just received vinyl copies of their States Rights debut Call Me Up– AND they’ve got a brand new (and totally FREE) EP, The Price Is Right, up on Bandcamp to boot. Go grab both the vinyl and the new EP, kiddo!

MP3: Cains & Abels – “My Life Is Easy”

Every year, our friends at the Bend, OR Bulletin put together a 2-”disc” wrap-up compilation of the previous year’s music– one disc filled with local Pacific NW artists, and one with a wide national set. This year’s collection will get you tunes from Superchunk, Wavves, Sharon Van Etten and lots more, plus some stuff you likely haven’t heard from the likes of NW artists like Larry and His Flask, The Autonomics, and Tuck and Roll. Check it out.
