Download a new free EP from Toy Cannons (playing Connie’s Ric Rac on 1/19)
FILED UNDER: Artists, Concert Previews, Downloads, Events, Recordings, Connie's Ric-Rac, Toy Cannons
Philly five-piece Toy Cannons take a scuzzy, lo-fi approach to 50s style pop. It sounds innocent, but don’t be fooled – the charming harmonies and pretty melodies that open their new EP are actually singing about whips, chains and switchblade knives. Get the EP as a free download here; catch them at Connie’s Ric Rac on January 19 with Drake City, Bite Size Giant, The Sewing Machine War and Spice Hound Music Co. More information on the show is available here.
