In celebration of their soon-to-be-released third album, O, Tilly and the Wall are about to head out on a 25-date jaunt around this great country of ours. I really hope it goes well because I just drove from L.A. to Chicago in a friggen Penske truck and we spent about $700 in gas to go 2200 miles. So we’re doing our part to help get these hardworkin’ Nebraskans some good ol’ fashioned lovin’.
In return, Till and the Wall have offered a couple new songs on the album free for anyone: “Pot Kettle Black,” which sounds like a foot-stomping monster is knocking on your door waiting for you to answer, then punching you in the face and running away, and “Cacophony,” which is a galloping ditty featuring a welcome reappearance of Derek Pressnall sharing vocal duties with Jamie. After you hear these two songs, I’m sure you’ll be itching to get the album, which drops June 17, 2008, so buy it, don’t steal it. Remember, gas prices are at like $4+ so if you want your favorite bands to tour to your city, cough up some dough and do your share.
