I've Been To Duluth



Remember the guy wearing a shirt that says ''I've been to Duluth" in this movie?... nothing? You don't recall the artful character portrayals of Robert Prosky? Well I do and, more importantly, I have been and will again to record some ripping bands from the North Shore. Hard Feelings and Peer Precious are at work cutting a wide swath through your conservative narrow bandwidth listening agenda as we speak. More to come...

Good stuff, but don't take my word for it. Treat your ear-holes to I Miss Then from their first release in the player below.









Get the full track listing as well as a digital copy available in various file formats from their Bandcamp site and of course befriend Shot Memory in all ways meaningful as per current standards: FACE... SPACE...
