Ghettoblaster Magazine calls The River Monks’ forthcoming album a “megafolk earworm sure to delight fans of thoughtful and provocative Americana.” Frontman Ryan Stier shared his thoughts about recording Home Is The House:

HughShows Q&A with Casper & The Cookies
Casper & The Cookies did a Q&A with HughShows in advance of tonight’s tour stop in Pittsburgh at Howler’s. Discover the band’s thoughts on Luaka Bop’s 1989 Brazilian comp Beleza Tropical & Fugazi’s In On The Kill Taker, on being disappointed by Genesis that one time, and on Pittsburgh: “every time we play there, we wind up some narrow, incredibly steep hill in our van and trailer. Usually, it’s sleeting.” Check it out here!
