Along with a couple of other bands like Blitzen Trapper, Wooden Wand and the Felice Brothers, we have a particular fondness for the Roadside Graves, a band whose brilliant 2009 album My Son’s Home was an early MM staple and from which Far And Wide was high in our favourite tracks of that particular year.

So a pleasure to discover that, after far too long, they are back with a new record, the curiously named ACNE/EARS which is out later this year and from it, a transformed, much more muscular version of Gospel Radio.

Listen to it and also Body from the new record below.
