Hands Down Eugene will officially release their double album White Stone / Black Witch this Friday the 13th with a show at The 5 Spot (along with D. Striker, natch). The vinyl is limited in numbers so it’d be wise to get one sooner rather than later.

Despite the physical version not being released until April 6th, Pico vs. Island Trees have gone ahead and made their new EP, Futura, available on iTunes. You can get it here or preview some tracks over at their MySpace.

Millionare Magicians were kind enough to send us the details on their forthcoming self-titled release. The self-titled album will be available starting March 20th and the band will celebrate the release with The Carter Administration and Altered Statesman at The Family Wash that same night to ring in the occasion.

Ross Wariner, one of the principle members of Kindercastle, has a solo project entitled Uncle Skeleton and his debut album, Pancho Chumley was released today. I should say, in respect of full disclosure, that this is the first release from yk records – my own personal endeavor of attempting to get music out to the world that would otherwise go unheard. So, obviously, I think this album is quite good and should be heard by as many people as possible. The album is available as a high quality free download and as a limited edition CD; both of which are now on the market.

• Digital Download – entirely free high quality (320 kbps), DRM free download of the album. This may end up being a detriment to selling the 250 physical copies but I am honestly more interested in just having people listen to the album and enjoy it.
• Physical Release – limited run of 250 discs in high quality packaging at a low price of $5 (plus $1 shipping). If you’re going to convince someone to spend their money on a physical CD these days, it better be nice – so I’ve done what I can to put together a nice piece of packaging and I think you’ll agree it’s more than worth the cost.

There you have it – the full rundown. Please spread the word!
