They are young, super talented, earthy and arty. We fell in love with them when we went to shoot them at Cyclops in Baltimore. We had no idea what to expect. They have a new CD, Way Upstate & The Crippled Summer Pt. 1. I even found a site that was selling it on vinyl as a double package with their previous release The Orion Songbook. Just saying...
As you might guess, Frontier Ruckus are playing the CMJ Music Marathon (which is a blast to attend) on October 22 at the Quite Scientific Showcase @ Spike Hill at 11 pm in Brooklyn, NY. That will be followed by some Midwest dates, down to Texas, and then back up to Michigan. The song "Mona and Emmy" is unreleased, from what we can gather, which makes it even more special to share this version with you.
