The Raging Nathans & Mikey Erg releasing a split (stream a track from each)
Here's a very cool punk split 7" on the way: Dayton, Ohio's The Raging Nathans and NJ's Mikey Erg Band will release Gauntlet of Knives on March 17 via Rad Girlfriend Records and Iron Fest Records. The title and artwork are both courtesy of Guided by Voices' Robert Pollard, and it's got two songs from each band; Raging Nathans' tracks are unreleased songs from the sessions for last year's Still Spitting Blood and Mikey's are brand new. We're premiering one from each right now, the Nathans' "Spring Cleaning" and Mikey's "Drinks With Margaret," and both are exactly the kind of catchy, no-frills rippers that you expect from these two. Check out both below.
The Raging Nathans have a tour coming up, including a headlining show at Brooklyn Monarch on April 3 with Heavy Lag and Living Room. Mikey's got just one show coming up in Philly at the moment. All dates for both artists are listed below.
