Check out our dude Grant Harris of Breathe Electric. He’s dropping his new single on 2/8. Stay in touch on his facebook!

So stoked to be a part of this tour! We will post ticket links soon!

Well, 2010 is coming to a close in about 10 hours. With this comes a look back at things that we loved from the past year. Check out what we thought the Best Music and Movies were along with a few of our friends. All things below are highly recommended so hopefully you can find a few things you didn’t know about before! Also, there is a video of a live performance of The Lawrence Arms ‘100 Resolutions’ at the bottom. They are one of our favorite bands from Chicago and a great song to look forward to next year!
