Cross-country buddies Jon Snodgrass and Cory Branan are proud to announce the imminent release of a collaborative split LP featuring their own original songs alongside two covers.

2. Corner (Branan)
3. Solo In Soho (originally by Phil Lynott)
4. Wild One (originally by Thin Lizzy)
5. Walk Around (Snodgrass)
6. Born Apart (Snodgrass)
7. Yeah, So What (Snodgrass)

The album, which features epic cover art depicting the great duality of nature and artistic allusions to da Vinci’s The Last Supper and van Gogh’s Starry Night, will be available exclusively on vinyl and a very small number of mailorder-only cassette tapes. It will be released on July 21st, 2009 on a limited pressing of colored vinyl (500 sun colored, 500 moon colored) care of Suburban Home Records.

Snograss and Branan will be hitting the road just prior to the record’s release with labelmate Joey Cape, all three of whom released solo albums in the past year. Cape continues to support his album “Bridge,” released last October by Suburban Home, while Snodgrass dropped his “Visitor’s Band” album this past February, also on Suburban Home.

From somewhere in the swamps of Jersey, Ronen Kaufman has just posted the newest episode of his long-running podcast Issue Oriented. This episode features an in-depth interview with Chris Wollard (Hot Water Music, The Draft, Rumbleseat) about his new semi-solo record “Chris Wollard & The Ship Thieves,” released this past February care of No Idea Records. The two discuss a variety of intriguing topics, including the revelation of organic creativity, making music with friends, and a huge inside scoop on the future of The Ship Thieves.

Will The Ship Thieves ever tour? Who’s even in The Ship Thieves these days? Are there plans to write a new record? What’s up with Hot Water Music lately? All these questions and more are answered as Ronen picks Chris’s brain for the better part of the episode.

The episode also features an interview with PETA’s Pulin Modi on the topics of veganism, the environment, and the case against bacon.

The split is scheduled for release on July 21st, 2009.

Both artists have tours planned this month. Austin Lucas is currently in the midst of a massive European tour with label mate Mike Hale, while The Takers are finalizing their plans for the first annual “Citrus Circuit Tour,” a string of Florida shows later this month that hopes to bring the traditions of roots music, family, and friends back to a rapidly modernizing music scene.

Gainesville, FL’s wayward sons Young Livers will be deserting the steamy swamps this summer in favor of cooler Pacific waters as they fly away to record a new album and spend a week traversing the left coast.

Young Livers will spend June 18th through July 1st at Satellite Recordings in Ventura, CA in the sinister company of Armand John Anthony, also responsible for the auditory violence committed on last year’s Glass And Ashes “S/T” album. They plan to record “about 14 songs, ten of which will probably end up on the record, with some left over for splits and stuff.” Tentative plans project a release date “sometime in the fall” by No Idea Records.

Following recording, they’ll hit the road for a quick week with longtime brethren The Fucking Wrath. You can click “more” below for the dates.
