Current/Upcoming Two Sheds Releases

An Epic at Best's The Spelling Sounds EP - Release notes and Reunion/Release show!

You haven't heard the last from An Epic at Best after all. The band finished off an EP's worth of material before playing its last show last September, and we've all decided it's too good to keep to ourselves! The Spelling Sounds EP is slated for a July 8 official release date, and is available for pre-ordering now (pre-orders will ship on approximately July 1). What's more, we're happy to announce that the band is going to do one last show on July 5 to celebrate the release! Robert is back from France, and Robert, Roy, Natalie, and Jamie are in one place long enough to squeeze in one show before Roy moves to San Francisco. The release show will be at the Caledonia Lounge in Athens, and also on the bill are label faves Down with the Woo, as well as Gift Horse.

iPod winner announced

Congratulations to Lance Stack of Aurora, Colorado! Lance's name was the name drawn in our recent drawing to give away an 8GB Apple iPod Nano. Thanks to all who made an online purchase or came out to one of our release shows this spring. Keep posted - we may try to do this again before Christmas.
