There’s a palpable urgency revealing itself as I type this . . . you can feel it: Record Store Day is a mere 11 days away. And to think, we’ve been giving away vinyl for 10 weeks now in anticipation. Where does the time go?
Our friends at Dangerbird Records are tossing around that ‘U’ word, urgency, to describe the brand new Maritime LP that arrives on your local store shelves—today! Go ahead, click the record cover up there to spin “Human Hearts” in its entirety.
To quote, “…let’s get back to that urgency. To varying degrees, every song on Human Hearts sounds like it wants to prove something: “Do we fight, fight, fight, fight on?” asks “It’s Casual,” and the answer is clearly yes. You can hear it in the gleaming pop-punk gem “Annihilation Eyes,” the climbing “C’mon Sense,” and especially “Faint of Hearts,” which filters classic-rock through Maritime’s pop sensibility, adding a snarl for powerful punctuation at the end.”
And as that by now well worn graphic reveals, we’ve bot a copy of Maritime’s lastest on vinyl to award one of you guys.
Simply preview the tracks above and leave us a comment in the comments section to the contest letting us know why you deserve to win the new LP. Be creative, funny, incisive—whatever it takes to grab our attention.
Winners of our Tuesday giveaways will be notified upon the launch of the next giveaway and must have a mailing address within the US and Canada.
