 Philly's Jena Berlin has just announced that their upcoming 7-inch, This Is Yours As Much As It Is Mine, is now available for pre-order from Jump Start.
Limited to 300 copies, pressed on red vinyl with hand-printed sleeves and inserts, the 7-inch contains two brand new songs as well as a digital download coupon for both, plus two additional tracks not included on the vinyl. The four songs were recorded by Zolof The Rock & Roll Destroyer's Vince Ratti, who has also worked with Circa Survive, None More Black, Valencia and Achilles. You can currently stream "The Great Plains" on the band's myspace page. You can also stream "Foolish Optimism" at Jump Start's myspace page.
Also, for anyone pre-ordering the 7-inch, you can pick up Jena Berlin's two long players, Passion Waits As The Program Keeps Going and Quo Vadimus, for a mere five bucks each.
Speaking of Quo Vadimus, Jena Berlin's amazing 2007 sophomore full-length will also be receiving the vinyl treatment from Ass-Card Records in Europe. That's right: I said Ass-Card. More details soon on how you can pick that up, but it should be available for their upcoming European tour.
Before their trek overseas, the boys will be leaving next Wednesday for a short five-day tour with Scream Hello. They'll be joined by Static Radio NJ on a few of those dates, as well as cast of amazing bands: Bridge And Tunnel, One Win Choice, The Ergs, Sakes Alive and Nakatomi Plaza. Seriously...how ridiculously awesome is that going to be? I never wanted to be a roadie so much as right now.
Changing gears slightly, it's worth noting that Scream Hello's phenomenal upcoming full-length, Everything Is Always Still Happening, will be released on September 9th by Red Leader Records. The band’s four-song teaser EP, Smart & Stupid, is available now from the label as well.
Coincidentally, Static Radio NJ’s equally amazing debut full-length, An Evening Of Bad Decisions, will also see its official release by Black Numbers on September 9th. If you haven't heard it yet, you can still stream the entire record at Punknews.org.
The August 29th show (see below) in the bands' shared hometown of New Brunswick will serve as the record release for both albums. Additionally, SRNJ will have another all-ages release show in New Brunswick on the 31st at The Loft with Seasick and Rapid Cities.
