Post-Shiner shoegaze masters The Life and Times have a shit-hot new song streaming on their MySpace page. “Fall of the Angry Clowns” is the first taste of the band’s forthcoming full-length Tragic Boogie, which unfortunately doesn’t yet have a definitive release date, but, if this song is any indicator, will blow the hair off your […]

Shudder to Think reunion continues into mini fall tour
July 8th, 2008
Shudder to Think vocalist Craig Wedren recently told Billboard that he and guitarist Nathan Larson have put aside all of the “venom and puss” that would preclude a reunion so as to move forward with playing together again.
