Kestrels releasing a new EP (stream it), touring with Worriers and Adult Dude (dates)

Halifax shoegazers Kestrels will release the followup to 2012’s A Ghost History LP with their new The Moon Is Shining Out Way EP on July 1 via Sonic Unyon Records…

Meatbodies released a cassette on Ty Segall's label & new 7", playing NYC before tour w/ Mac DeMarco (dates, streams)
