Funny / Not Funny is excited to welcome Prison Book Club to the family with the announcement of F/NF 019 a split cassette tape between Prison Book Club and Uncle Bengine and the Restraining Orders.  Prison Book Club comes from the small town of Shepherdstown WV, you might recognize that name from another recent release we put out.  That is right, Prison Book Club shares members with The Demon Beat, as well as The Fox Hunt, but don’t let that shape your opinion of this group, because they have crafted their own brand of honest rock and roll with a country twist that holds up without leaning on their pedigree.  Prison Book Club is Adam Meisterhans, Andrew Ford, John R. Miller, Tucker Riggleman.  More information about the release is listed below, but first get to know these boys by checking out the video and links.

LOCALS ONLY:I want to shout out Nailgun Media for all their help with our releases, whether it be James with art or another member with promotion of these wonderful bands’ live performances we have the privilege of working with. Big ups to Charlottesville for producing some really great music right now, and just as important, mad props to those of you who are writing about/listening to/going to see it!

Edit: Also I just saw Andrew C write an article on Kurt Vile + Deerhunter headed to Cville at The Jefferson Theater August 10, thank goodness.
