#7 with a bullet!! The Longwalls’ new album Careers in Science has made the top 10 of The Noise local radio chart for the month of April! Huge thanks to our friends at WMBR, WMFO, WFNX, WZLX and all the local DJs for lending your support. You’re the best!
A HUGE thank you is in order for everyone who came out to The Longwalls’ Careers in Science CD release show at Precinct on Friday night. We had a blast, thank you so much! And thanks to Glenn Yoder and Found Audio for coming along for the ride! Good times, more on the way soon…
The Longwalls have just released a haunting, stop-motion video for the song Ghosts off 2010’s Dark Academy EP. Check it out! The video was produced by our good friend Ryan Murphy, be sure to let him know what you think!! Enjoy!
“The pure sound of these songs provide such visceral pleasure.” Some very kind words indeed on The Longwalls’ Careers in Science from the Boston Globe! Meanwhile, Oh So Fresh! Music thinks the album is a bit like “modern Springsteen, but with an indie touch.” We’ll take it!!
Hey ya’ll! A few things to check out: (1) Brandon’s colleague Alex talks about Careers in Science album art design over on the Sametz blog! (2) Ride the Tempo gave the album a nice ‘lil mention. (3) Our pal Dysonsound included us on a guest mix tape for TSURURADIO’s Nudiezine! All good stuff as we get ready to release the album a week from today! Woot!!
Curious about The Longwalls’ upcoming Careers in Science album?!? Head on over to Alan’s blog where he’s talking about the thinking behind each song, posting early demos, live recordings, and a few of the final cuts. Some good readin’ we reckon..
The Longwalls played live On The Town with Mikey Dee at WMFO back in May. The set includes tracks from Field Guide, the new Dark Academy EP, as well as a few new songs set for release on a new EP early next year. Check out parts of the set for free on SoundCloud.
Join The Longwalls Friday, July 30 at Tommy Doyle’s in Hyannis and Saturday, July 31 at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge for our Throwback Summer Weekend. Unfortunately our main man Kurt von Stetten is on holiday that week, but we’re excited to announce that our old pal and Gatsby mate Scott Robinson is flying up from Florida to fill in on drums both nights. Going to be a hell of weekend, plan accordingly!
A big thanks is in order for all who came out to The Longwalls’ Dark Academy release show at the Lizard Lounge on May 1. It was great night and we’re so happy we were able to share it with so many friends–old and new. You guys are the best. On to the next!
Boston’s own The Noise can’t recommend The Longwalls more highly, and says Dark Academy has “all the earmarks of future classic and gets better with every listen.” Gee, that’s really nice of them. Read it all here (scroll down a bit).
