SOME STUFFS: these are THE BRAKES

The Philadelphia Weekly called their album "this year's first summer cookout record." I speak of a band called The Brakes, who have gained a buzz within their fan base and may be on the verge of breaking beyond that, as they're about to release their debut album, Tale Of Two Cities, next week on Hyena Records. If you haven't heard about them, you can download a free MP3 (for the song "Into The Ground") by clicking here. If you need visual evidence, click on the following video:

I think The Brakes rock. But I'm the manager, so...
