Hey wvua,
We have just launched the Drive-Thru Records 2008 Digital Sampler featuring FREE DOWNLOADS from 13 different bands, including Ace Enders (ex-The Early November), Steel Train, Socratic, Biirdie, and more!!!
Did you download Party for the Grown and Sexy yet? Get it now on AbsolutePunk.net!
Here's what Max Bemis from Say Anything had to say about the EP: "I had heard a lot about You, Me, and Everyone We Know before and thought they were a good band but i just got their new EP and it crushes booty! I just want people to download it. I have their song Livin' th' Dream on repeat. Whoever says they sound like us, that is a great compliment for us and stop being shmucks as we did the same damn thing to Saves the Day. Word to this band! Aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
"Biirdie shift effortlessly between the countrified balladry of early WILCO, the sunny harmonies of the Elephant 6 collective, and 70's Laurel Canyon guitar pop." -Spin
To celebrate Biirdie's upcoming in-store performance at Lou's, we're giving away a FREE DOWNLOAD of their song "Him" on the Drive-Thru MySpace page.

We are really excited to announce that on our short Jan/Feb tour we will be playing our new record "Trampoline" from start to finish each night. We have never done anything like this before on a tour, so the shows should be very special and interesting. Person L (Kenny from TSL), Paper Rival and American Babies support these shows. Don't worry if you love the old stuff, there is always a super long encore! We hope to see everyone at these shows... LOVE, steel train
