Life goes on, so we wanted to thank Cherrylle Urbano at for the thoughtful review of Overheard's "Time on a Good Day." Cherrylle says "Time on a Good Day by Overheard reaches deep into my soul, drawing me into a mesmerizing state of mind, body, and spirit." And don't we need that?

Ever had one of those dreams where you’re running in place, trying to escape something you’re not entirely sure of, but know the inevitable will sink you down, so you’d rather not know and just try to run away? This beautifully haunting song, “Time On A Good Day,” by Overhead reaches deep ...

Contratulations to OVERHEARD on the release of “Intertwined,” their debut album!

We’ve watched this album blossom from a very first discussion at Rough Draft Bar & Books about what releasing an album together would look like, to future meetups and planning chats at Camp Kingston and Tubby's Kingston, as things began to crystallize. We're so fortunate to have no shortage of welcoming spaces in Kingston for artists to collaborate and plan (and drink beer or coffee), and it felt like along the way, we took advantage of all of them. Now it’s finally time to share it. We couldn’t be more proud to have our logo tagged on the back of this beautiful piece of art.

We hope you’ll take a few minutes to give it a listen by visiting the Bandcamp link in our bio or the soulless streaming platform of your choice. The record is available on CD and vinyl (soon, at least) at finer indie record stores, and also at all the usual download sites.

Formal thanks to Dylan Nowik for excellent production, Amar Lal for mastering, Allie Young for performing on the record, Becky Cote for the photography, and Grace Moore for art. All wonderful, it's a pleasure to be in all your orbits.

"These rock 'n' roll lifers have credits as long as your arm and a seemingly endless array of chunky riffs that they pile into terse, frantic, imaginative three minute miracles, every one on point and memorable." Thanks to , godfather of Jersey punk, for this great review of ' "La La La...Whatever" and thanks to for publishing it. This is a great fu**in' review. Jim is the first person who ever wrote anything about Dromedary Records, and we love him dearly.

Overheard has its roots in New York’s Hudson Valley—specifically, a bar in Kingston, where Erin Barth-Dwyer and Will LaPorte bonded over multiple adult beverages. Adding Kenny Thomas on bass, the trio spent its early days riding out the pandemic. They held rehearsals outdoors, playing at least s...

I've been an admirer of Brad Searles and for almost 30 years, and it's been a privilege to have him attend both DromFests. This year he created a YouTube page with a bunch of live videos - 48 in total - with a whole bunch of the bands represented. The link is below, check them all out. It was a weekend filled with special performances! Thanks, Brad!

This week, published its annual football preview, and asked a bunch of bands for an assessment of their local teams. Matt Hunter & the Dusty Fates weighed in with their opinion on their local team, the New York Giants, and their prediction for how the team would do this coming season. Check out the whole thing, which also includes our pal and Dromedary alumnus Lenny Zenith of Tenterhooks, and our buds Aeon Station, at https://www.spin.com/2024/09/musicians-predict-2024-football-season/

I’ve been sort of on the fence about posting this, but I want to add a caveat here. I am a sports guy, and I used to love the NFL. I stopped watching in 2017 when the owners decided that Colin Kaepernick was too controversial for any team to sign. That was seven years ago, and I still do not watch (it’s really cool to have my Sundays back, actually). But I think it’s important to note that just because that was seven years ago and Kaepernick is probably too old to be effective at this point doesn’t mean that police brutality is not a thing, particularly in the Black community, and I’m not going to stop thinking about what they did to that man just because it’s football season.

Happy Release Day to CATHEDRAL CEILINGS, whose brand-new album "La La La...Whatever" is born today! Available on fire-colored or black vinyl, CD, and the high-res digital format of your choice, this is a beast of a record, filled with light speed, violent pop, and hooks for miles. Also, by my count this is the 15th record we have released that features Ralph Malanga singing and playing guitar on it somewhere, and you can get almost all of them today because it's BANDCAMP FRIDAY!
