ALMOND JOY "Oh Henry!" EP [IPU149/PRNL47] Almond Joy are psyched to be in San Francisco. In fact, they wrote a song about it, their latest video which you can view HERE. The concept of the video is simple, "we like San Francisco" - - -Rice-A-Roni, street cars, Chinatown, Lombard Street, Spade & Archer - - - though none of those things appear in the "San Francisco" video, their presence is implied. Lots of California dreaming set to a good beat - - - you can dance to it! "San Francisco" appears on the new Almond Joy EP Oh, Henry! [IPU149], the latest volume in our International Pop Underground series. Almond Joy play an Oh, Henry! record release party in San Francisco (where else?) November 2. Ask a punk. buy/stream http://almondjoy.lnk.to/ohhenry https://youtu.be/ZJyQYlPBVaI
