dashaband:
Matthew St. over at “Listen To This Once” just posted a review of our new full length. Here’s what he had to say:
“I wasn’t too sure what I should write about today, being Valentines Day. But when I arrived home from work and looked in my mailbox, there starring back at me was the answer.
I’ve loved this band from the first time I heard them. I had been waiting to hear this album as...

The Harlem Renaissance/Ida Sessions Cassplit
One of Fredonia’s newest groups came together accidentally. The Harlem Renaissance, as a name, came about in 2006, when we still lived in dorms, and starting a band with Erick Perrine didn’t require transportation. That band never came to fruition, but its spiritual successor, featuring Cais Jurgens and Dylan England of Longitude, and James Ralls of Respect Mother, is a Kinsella...
Longitude's New EP Out Soon!
Longitude has, over last two and a half years, have captivated the hearts and minds of Fredonia’s local music scene. They have performed countless shows about town, in dive bars, nicer bars, basements, living rooms, and even a few bro bars.
One debilitating problem that has plagued this band, however, has been a lack of merchandise available for purchase. Occasionally, they have had...
