Ugly Joe OFFLINE Hairy Eyeball The Sun Machine is Coming Down Posts: 325	Apparently Jimmy's new band released a six-song EP yesterday? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0048ZLIGS Samples sound okay, but I'll hold out for a physical release.

From what I've read, vocals are by Mike Reina and guitarist Anthony Pirog is "involved". Without liner notes I don't think we'll know whether Jimmy has song-writing credits, but I'd guess he's involved in the process. Keep in mind that Jimmy co-wrote all of the songs on Life Begins Again.

Ugly Joe OFFLINE Hairy Eyeball The Sun Machine is Coming Down Posts: 325	Vocals seemed weird to me, too, but I warmed up to them after playing the samples a few times. They said before that this would end up on bandcamp and I'm hoping that it does. I won't pay for MP3s, but I will play for FLAC.

epitome OFFLINE Die Posts: 6752	Any word on whether it will be coming out on CD or not? I'd definitely be interested in it. I never got the JCC album though - I remember checking them out at the time but not being that into them - maybe I should give them another go.
