Shrag! (CMJ tour dates, MP3, videos)

DOWNLOAD: Shrag – Tights in August (MP3)

Shrag

Indiepop can be a bit of a dirty word but Shrag are flying the flag defiantly, with some balls too. Comparisons to Love is All and Comet Gain are apt (they share producer Woodie Taylor) but there’s also some classic punk snarl in there too. Shrag’s new album, Life! Death! Prizes!, is pretty terriffic and deserves to take them beyond the cardigan crowd. You can download the Comet Gain-esque “Tights in August” at the top of this post and watch the video for their excellent new single “Rabbit Kids” at the bottom of this post.

More importantly, Shrag are here this week for CMJ and as it stands right now you’ve got three chances to see them: Friday (10/22, 6PM) at Cake Shop for the Pop Tarts Suck Toasted day party; Saturday (10/23, 3PM) at Bruar Falls as part of the all-day Cape Shok party; then later Saturday night (11PM) for their official CMJ showcase at Lit Lounge.
