SappyFest is coming up, August 1-3. The love-in indie rock fest was started by Sappy Records, and for the 3rd year in a row they are gearing up to let loose the distortion and cozyness again to warm the rugged east coast. The 2008 SappyFest line up has looots of sweetness in it, and [...]

Here’s a new video for Miracle Fortress’ Have You Seen In Your Dreams. It’s directed by Sinbad Richardson, whose other work can usually be found at Vienna Pitts.com (although right now his website takes you to a GIF of a winking ape).
