TIM HEIDECKER ANNOUNCES VIRTUAL RECORD STORE TOUR DATES

In support of his recently released album Fear of Death, Tim Heidecker is “heading out” on a nine-day virtual tour of beloved U.S. record stores next month. Each night, a different store will host Heidecker playing a short acoustic set on their socials or website.

Heidecker says: “Independent record stores are really important and without being able to visit in person, this virtual tour is a small way for me to do my bit in supporting them, after they have been so kind in supporting me.”

Like all good tours, Heidecker has also made a special edition, screen-printed, hand-numbered poster on 18×24″ cover weight paper, limited to 200 copies and signed by the artist Ryan Duggan. Posters are available to purchase at: https://store.timheideckermusic.com/products/tim-heidecker-virtual-record-store-tour-numbered-and-signed-poster

All virtual shows are free to attend.

Praise for Fear of Death:
 
“a sunny, psychedelic record that looks death in the eye and hums right along to it.” – INTERVIEW 
 
“Glowing like a Laurel Canyon sunset, ‘Fear of Death’ is Dad rock for the end of the world or, at least, your youth.” – Washington Post 
 
“Despite the dark subject matter, much of Fear of Death is deceptively upbeat, with catchy, uptempo numbers like ‘Come Away With Me,’ the title track or ‘Backwards,’ which sweetly warns us that ‘sun is setting on the good times, oh no.'” – Inside Hook 
 
“[Fear Of Death] is his best so far, helped along by an impressive cast starring Mering, whose backup vocals dramatically enhance Tim’s raw tenor.” – FLOOD 
 
“[Fear Of Death is] easily Heidecker’s best and most fully realized record yet, and not just for his earnest exploration of death’s inevitability and the future’s instability.” – AV Club

Jerkswitch release new single – Poking The Blind

Montreal reggae-infused punk unit Jerkswitch has released a new single titled Poking The Blind. It’s the band first new material since BUFO released in 2019. You can find the song via the most popular digital platforms HERE and read what frontman EJ Lang stated about the song below.

”Poking The Blind is a warm and unifying chant from the gutter straight to your speakers! Here to bring together the black sheep who refuse to fall asleep and fight for a better future.” – EJ Lang (Vocals)

Poking The Blind follows the recent video release of About A Punk, a song from the band’s most recent album, BUFO.

About Jerkswitch:

Born from the ashes of The Skudfux who disbanded last year, Jerkswitch features the same straight up punk vibe that blends elements of reggae and ska, just like The Skudfux used to offer, but now with new and more mature sound. The band is currently working on new music to be released in 2021.
