Only one week to go until the release of “Anytown Graffiti”.

This weeks addition to the e-card is the title track of the album. We hope to see all of you at one of the release parties next week. If you New Yorkers didn’t get tickets for the Mercury Lounge, you should consider making the trip to Philadelphia. It’s really not all that far.
