THE SCHRAMMS

"Heart Not Within" b/w "Sister Rose," "What I Knew Today"
7" / CD5

Frustrated as fuck that one of the greatest bands in the USA is largely ignored by the very same audience that oughta roll around and pray to 'em (we're talking about you and your friends), we've decided to do our part and release a Schramms EP. "Heart Not Within" is from the incredible new album Little Apocalypse (ESD), "Sister Rose" and "What I Knew Today" are previously unreleased and unavailable elsewhere.

The Schramms, for those of you who are kinda slow about this stuff, are a NY based quartet led by singer/guitarist/songwriting wiz Dave Schramm. Dave might be better known to you as a former member of Yo La Tengo (he played guitar on Ride The Tiger, then guested on Fakebook years later). His guitar playing is one of the only things that does not suck about the new Freedy Johnston album. Adding to the supergroup-nobody-knows are drummer Ron Metz (a founding member of Human Switchboard), bassist Al Greller (formerly of Peter Stampfel & The Bottlecaps and Beat Rodeo) and keyboard player George Usher (formerly of Beat Rodeo, some Bongos lineup we never saw, and his own House of Usher).
