CREEPOID AND SHORES ANNOUNCE RECORD STORE DAY SPLIT EP ON NO IDEA RECORDS 04.9.12
Featuring two of No Idea’s heroic and cult-celebrated “slowcore” acts, the Creepoid / Shores split EP follows the newly reissued “Horse Heaven” LP from Philadelphia’s Creepoid, and serves as a preface to the upcoming “Leavening” LP from Grand Rapids, MI’s Shores (out this Summer, also on No Idea). In support of the new release, both bands will be taking part in in-store performances at their local record stores on April 21st, with Shores performing at Vertigo Music in Grand Rapids, and Creepoid performing at Siren Records in the Philadelphia suburb of Doylestown, PA.
Creepoid has recently returned from a series of weekend live performances around the East Coast, including appearances at this year’s Macrock Festival in Harrisonburg, Virginia and the Liberty Fest in Philadelphia, where the band performed alongside the likes of Bardo Pond, Psychic Ills, Purling Hiss and more. In addition, Shores are announcing a series of April dates throughout the Midwest with friends Pygmy Lush kicking off this weekend (full itinerary below).
Track List:
Creepoid - “Golden String”
Shores - “Weak Trees”

Anonymous asked: What is your take on Meyer lemons?
while we may have abandoned “lemon drops” back in ‘04 or so, little beats a good campfire and a heavy, healthy batch of “hop skip and go naked” in the thick michigan summer air. -b
