Poema - Sing it Now
Songs of summer love and longing. Admit it, you're a fan, even if you are a guy ;)
Beloved (US) - Failure On (VINYL)
It will remain one of the great tragedies of our market that Beloved was only able to record one album with Solid State before disbanding. Forget talk about potential. They reach near perfection on this 2003 debut.

Further Seems Forever - How to Start a Fire (VINYL)
Originally released on CD by Tooth & Nail Records in 2003, this album was a surprising but good first choice for Broken Circles to begin reissuing what we consider the classics. Listening on vinyl really brings out those definitive FSF guitar tones.
