GIMME TINNITUS

Out today is the 24 minute Slumberland Records debut from San Franciso-based Brilliant Colors. Together, Jess Scott, Diane Anastasio and Michelle Hill have created a small gem out of guitar, drums and bass. It is entitled Introducing. If you like you punky Shop Assistants-esque indie pop, you need to hear this.

Downloadables:
Absolutely Anything (mp3)
