Riding on the release of May's Forgettable LP, Hartford's Sorority Noise is heading to Amherst, MA, next Monday, August 18. Fitting to its name, the band’s lyrics span the insecurities of college life – take, for example, “When we broke up you told me to try and find myself … so I found myself in someone else's bed,” from “Dirty Ickes” – but the band’s groovy punk inspires one to dance through the darkness rather than sulk alone. Check out Sorority Noise in Massachusetts’ most famous college town alongside Three Man Cannon, Sexy Girls, The Hundred Acre Woods and Amherst folk-punks Dérive at Amherst's Unitarian Meeting House at 7 p.m. on August 18. – Jake Reed (@jakejreed)

We've shared plenty of words with you lately about The Hundred Acre Woods so here's an acoustic performance of "City Lights," one of our favorites from their new EP Cold In The Morning, which is now available on vinyl via Lame-O Records. It was recorded in their van by Table Three Media, and should be a nice warm-up for the band's release show this evening at Golden Tea House with Alex G, SHMNS, I Kill Giants, and Au Revoir.

With the polar vortex upon us, we felt that it would be appropriate to share with you this morning The Hundred Acre Woods' new three-song EP Cold In The Morning, which premiered yesterday via Property of Zack. It officially comes out on January 14 via Philly indie label Lame-O Records. Stay warm, stay in, and enjoy the tunes!
