This week I’d have to go with Kevin Devine, he’s on a really cool tour with Jesse of Brand New at the moment. The High Court, they put out a really cool record this past week. Finally… Saves the Day, just because. Have a great week!

Kevin Devine Updates

By Leave a Comment

Kevin Devine is currently in the middle of a mini east coast tour. His latest album Put Your Ghost to Rest is being re-released later this summer in the U.S. and throughout Europe; and is currently available here as doubled colored vinyl with three exclusive b-sides.

He has also been working on album number five; at the moment 24 songs have been started and 2 are finished. The record probably won’t be released until 2008, but new tunes will be sprinkled into the set(s) as they come out.

Tour plans are also in the works for the most part of the rest of the year.
