New Releases: No Decision at Night, WaytheDinoScream, TIPS!, cassette player romance, lastwejust...

Apologies for ghosting everyone! Between losing the orginal audio in a freak accident and losing our producer in the midst of a transition, it's been a strange couple of months. But I've dragged my feet too long and since I've got nothing to lose - I'd figured I'd jump in the staddle and give this podcast thing a test drive. Try to get the engine running, at least for the time being. And because producer Elie isn't here to chime in or use his magical editing skills - we're giving you the tracks in their full. So join us on this EMO journey as we check in with some of this past spring's newest indie bands including No Decision at Night, WaytheDinoScream, TIPS!, cassette player romance, and lastwejust... 1.No Decision at Night 夜晚做决定 - Block 8 四号楼 https://open.spotify.com/album/3IwEXukhEcbT3ipYpTgRDo [https://open.spotify.com/album/3IwEXukhEcbT3ipYpTgRDo] 2.
