Bound Stems 2: Electric Boogaloo

19th May 2008 | by Aidan Williamson

Chicago's Bound Stems have both a sophomore album, and rather joyously, a good old-fashioned tour in the works for later this year. Feel free to break into a standing ovation whilst the applause light goes beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

The album, going under the name "The Family Afloat" will be issued by the Flameshovel label on September the 9th, 2008 on both CD and Vinyl. Anyone lucky enough to attend one of the band's summer shows will be able to pick themselves up a copy of the vinyl as early as July.

The indie-rock band will be playing ten dates across the States, which you can see the details of in the epilogue.
