#skoaradio 10/03/2015 liner notes

If you don't like music you can't sit with us.

It's chill af in NYC today. Literally. Like I'm having a hard time getting out of bed because I like my feet not being popsicles. I am writing this whilst I am still in bed. That said, the chill means that all the glorious fall albums are under way and CMJ is quickly approaching. I've also been on a steady streak of shows lately, which I will get up ASAP for you to see and be jealous of me. I'm also working to backdate all the show notes I kept saying I was upping and then rage quit because as you can see below these posts are intense as hell, you guys. OH WELL IT'S WORTH IT BECAUSE I LOVE DOING THIS!

Enjoy this weeks jams and be sure to grab the Spotify playlist below if you want to keep this mix around. As always, I'd love to hear from you so feel free to drop me a tweet and let me know what you thought of this week's show.

[Watch] Jacuzzi Boys - "Happy Damage"

Good news, everyone! Miami rock trio Jacuzzi Boys have announced that come this fall we will have more music from the band in the form of a new EP titled Happy Damage, which will come out on their newly formed label Mag Mag, which will be a home for future self releases and special projects from friends and collaborators. To celebrate, the band released this video of the title track from the EP, which features live footage of the band from their shows. 

If that tickled your fancy you're in luck because the band is offering "Happy Damage" for the actual retail price of $FREE.99 over on Soundcloud, so snatch that up ASAP. 

Also, if you have a moment, head over to their newly designed website for more info (which btw is pretty GIFtastic I must say). 

[Listen] Jacuzzi Boys - Glazin' (Full Album Stream)

It's a little unfortunate that we won't get to experience Glazin' until the tail end of the summer, but I guess since Jacuzzi Boys are from Miami that they just wanted to make sure that we had some nice rays of sunshine going into the fall to hold us over until next summer.

Spin was fortunate enough to get their hands on a full album stream a week before the album is scheduled to drop on Hardly Art (August 29th) and we've used our ninja skills to save you some time to check the album out below. Make sure you pre-order Glazin' once you like what you hear.

The band will also be heading out on tour in September to support the album like every great hardworking band should. You can check behind the jump for more information on the tour.
