Colin Cutler from North Carolina dedicated his album to Flannery O’Connor. Every song is a reflection on one of her characters. Sheer Mag from Philadelphia has a new single. Jake Roberts (ex Ausmuteants, Hierophants) is back with another Alien Nosejob project. Power pop power is represented by Nick Frater from UK, Marc Bailey from Iowa and Thomas Walsh from Ireland.
