      I'll see them at the Oklahoma State Fair in Sept. Seems weird though. I'm used to seeing Loverboy, Eddie Money, etc for the last 4-5 years. Loverboy twice actually! Seems odd we would get a band this good, but I'll take it.

        I'm gonna assume that their server got hammered...
        Tried the FLAC download and it timed out... tried the mp3 download and it looks like that is jamming up as well. I re-entered my code to retry the FLAC and it told me that I already downloaded it
        I shot off an e-mail and hope they can find a way to make good on the offer.

          I went ahead and got it from Itunes this am, I'm digging it. Pretty fucking good album. I didn't expect to hear something like "I ain't hiding", but I like it

            Well I bought the new record today and the CD's done up to look like Vinyl, which is a nice touch, I gotta say that Warpaint never really grew on me, too much mid tempo stuff with no real standout tracks IMO, and this one feels kinda similar, a little more varied though.

            'could do without the disco track, that's for sure. When the falsetto backing vocals come in it's just so obvious that they wanted to do their version of "Miss You" it hurts!

            Trying to get the free download thing going now but I'm fucked if I can get it to work...

              Read a long review... but this comment summed up my feelings on the new disc(s)...

              It's almost damning praise to call a work "mature" but Before The Frost…Until The Freeze is nourishing, thoughtful, emotionally resonant music made by and intended for adults, a series of primo ruminations on paths taken. I'll let others wag over "best album" or even "better than such & such album." When music is this organic, switched-on and skillfully delivered there's no need for hierarchies. Just kick off them shoes and let it have its way with you and you'll get it just fine.

                    I got it to work in the end, cheers!

                    Still kinda underwhelmed though. It's all in a similar kinda country groove, no real standout tracks. Shame really.

                    I still wanna go and see 'em live though, saw 'em twice back in the day, it's about time I caught up again.

                          The more I listen to it, the more I like it. It is like an actual "album". All songs sound great played in sequence. To me it sounds best to listen to it as a whole. I'm loving it.

                            So...did anyone check out Johnny Colt's new show on the Travel Channel last night? It was occasionally engaging but a tad talky, with a ton of "new age" sounding spiritualism involved. Here is some more info on the program.

                            Johnny Colt Heads to Thailand in the Premier of 'At Full Volume'

                            Former Bass Player for the Black Crowes Travels the World in 'At Full Volume'

                            What would you get if you mixed one part MTV and one part Survivor? You're about to get the answer courtesy of Johnny Colt and the Travel Channel.

                            Johnny Colt's "At Full Volume" will chronicle the experiences of JC as he travels to various parts of the world and gives us an all access pass to lands and cultures that most of us have only read about.

                            Colt's musical resume reads like a rock star's wish list. Best known as a member of the Black Crowes, Colt has also played with some of the best musicians and bands in the world including the Grammy award winning band Train and Rock Star Supernova. Colt also co-hosts the Atlanta AM radio talk show Politely Disruptive on WMLB AM1690 (the Voice of the Arts). And much like Johnny's music, "At Full Volume" will be devoid of borders, boundaries and will most likely appeal the adventurer in all of us.

                            In the show's premier Johnny travels to Thailand. Click here to read about his journey and just a few of the experiences that awaited him there.

                            "At Full Volume" premiers Monday, September 7th at 9PM.

                              I saw the show last night pretty good except for the part where he had some buddist monk tattoo some prayer on the back of his skull.

                              That is why tattooists love fat dudes, more canvas.

                              At least his tats were spread over a long list of memories and times.

                              That I dig and respect.. the tat as color or fasion.

                              I am sick for 17 year old douche nozzles covered in ink and they have never left the 10 mile radius of thier home.

                              They look like the drunk ass at the party and when he passes out all the chicks write skribbly sh!t all over them.

                              This, I respect..............just a OP



                              I hope Johnny does more shows, the local music searches and people he met were cool.

                                This has nothing to do with the topic in hand but fuck am I ever sick of teenagers with full sleeves of tattoos. If your mother can afford to give you money to get that done to yourself then you're not badass enough to deserve to have sleeve tattoos you fuckin' dolt!
