Latest "Under the Influence" Releases


One of my favorite labels, Suburban Home Records just announced the latest release in their Under the Influence series:

Andrew Jackson Jihad / Cobra Skulls

I'm too lazy to retype all the details and label owner Virgil Dickerson does it so well, so here's his note:

We are excited to announce the sixth release of our Under the Influence series. The series finds bands we love recording songs that have influenced their song writing. The artwork is being done by the very talented Mitch Clem and Nation of Amanda who has been asked to make their own renditions of the album art that the song being covered originally appeared. For this sixth release, Andrew Jackson Jihad are covering Neutral Milk Hotel's "Two Headed Boy" and Cobra Skulls are covering Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues". The 7″s will come with a coupon that will allow you to download the tracks as mp3s. The 7″ will be pressed as an edition of 2,000 copies. We should have copies by the middle of March.

Listen to the tracks from this Under the Influence plus the previous 5 volumes here. You can also listen to them at the Andrew Jackson Jihad and Cobra Skulls' Myspace pages.
