On Thanksgiving, Flannel Mouth is giving a gift to their fans: a free download of new single "You've Convinced Me" along with a cover of Murder By Death's "You Don't Miss Twice (When You're Shavin' With A Knife)." As a special treat for you all today, we have the first listen of "You've Convinced Me."
Here's the press release followed by the exclusive first listen of "You've Convinced Me:"
So give the song a listen below and then make sure you hit Flannel Mouth's bandcamp page on Thanksgiving to download it and the Murder By Death cover for free!From the plains of central Illinois comes an announcement from Peoria-based American Underground band, Flannel Mouth, regarding the release of their digital 7", featuring the single "You've Convinced Me" and a cover of Murder By Death's "You Don't Miss Twice (When You're Shavin' With A Knife)." Due out November 22, 2012 via SwitchBitch Records as a free digital download, "You've Convinced Me" offers an eclectic and thematic preview of the band's still-germinating full length, and their spin on "You Don't Miss Twice" showcases the band's knack for catchy melodies and dynamism in their songwriting.
Flannel Mouth has been a staple in Central Illinois for five years now, and is now threading the Midwest with its perception of rock and theatrics, fronted by Luke Myers on vocals, guitar, and piano. Zachary Hartman provides the band's instrumental hooks on guitar, piano, trumpet, accordion, and almost any other instrument you can name, and while Ryan Batalon rounds out the wavelengths with his vocal harmonies and bass guitar, percussionist Tyler Jamsa provides the booms and bangs to punch the songs right through the listener.
These fine young gentlemen were quickly recognized by musician, studio, and label owner Michael Abiuso who signed Flannel Mouth to SwitchBitch Records in early 2012. Flannel Mouth recorded and released their debut EP Pull In Your Horns on March 8, 2012. There are many reasons and means to give thanks, and this is their way of giving back: a free download of their digital 7" on Thanksgiving 2012. These tracks were performed, produced, and recorded by Flannel Mouth at Dr. Swigburn's Palace of Debauchery in Glasford, Illinois, and mixed/mastered by Mike Abiuso at SwitchBitch Studios in Boston/Brooklyn, USA. "You Don't Miss Twice (When You're Shavin' With A Knife)" was composed by Murder By Death (Vagrant Records, 2010).
