One of Lilys' hardest to find records is finally getting reissued on vinyl. We talked to bandleader Kurt Heasley about it and what else he has coming up in a freewheeling interview.

Lilys‘ excellent ‘60s-pop worshipping 1999 album ‘The 3 Way‘ is finally getting a vinyl release.

The EP was the perfect format for the original shoegaze scene, allowing bands to stretch out...but not too much. Here are the best Extended Plays of the early '90s era.
