The album features Christmas covers and originals from bands like Brandston, Brazil, Far-Less, It Dies Today, June, Meg & Dia, Spitalfield, and more.

After a high speed chase through the ladies room, the venue, and the parking lot, I finally cornered Spitalfield singer/guitarist Mark Rose before the band played an amazing set in Atlanta, GA. Always a pleasure, Mark is a wonderful person and a great entertainer. His band is severely underrated, and if you haven’t picked up their new album “Better Than Knowing Where You Are”, go do it right now. Even if you’re reading this after midnight, go to Wal-Mart. They have it. I’m serious. Go buy it. Now.

Trevor: To get this going, are you guys pleased with the outcome of the new album?

Spitalfield’s new video for “Secrets In Mirrors” is now on YouTube. Check it out below if you haven’t seen it yet.

Spitalfield are Victory’s best kept secret and their biggest mistake. By that, I mean that Spitalfield are a band that are so far above others, that it’s still cool to talk about them to people who don’t know who they are. By biggest mistake I mean that people not knowing who they are is an injustice done to this band. I don’t see any elaborate marketing campaign to catapult them into the same league as some of their peers who have gone on to sell hundreds of thousands of albums. Maybe I’m a little bitter, because their previous two albums mean so much to me.

Here are some albums that will be in-stores tomorrow.
