White Arrows Update

Well, there are a lot of fun and exciting things going on with our boyz in White Arrows, so we figured we might as well give you a little update! First of all they’re headed back out on the road, covering the US again, and this time they’re teaming up with Family Of The Year, Maps & Atlases and Young Buffalo (dates below). Second of all, there’s a fun new “Roll Forever” remix by Teen Daze floating around the internets that we’re enjoying greatly (stream/download directly below). And lastly, there’s a cool video on YouTube of White Arrows covering Fleetwood Mac‘s “Save Me A Place” in Boston this past summer (above). The fun thing about that song is its the b-side on the Get Gone 7″ that’s available in our web store! How’s that for an update??
