Dumb Fest next month is featuring over twenty bands that are active right now in Central Illinois and the midwest. Last week we brought you news that one of the Dumb Fest bands, HeavyArms have released a new album. It looks like a few more of the bands playing Dumb Fest are releasing new music! Gas Up Yr Hearse and Dino Bravo have both recently put out cassettes.

Gas Up Yr Hearse from Bloomington/Champaign released their cassette “A Banner Year For The Sum of Our Losses” earlier this year. You can find that streaming below. Gas Up Yr Hearse is currently planning a tour around Dumb Fest, and they will also be on tour from July 12th through the 26th. You can check their facebook page for more info on those dates. Aside from the cassette, GUYH is also planning on releasing a split 5″ and a square-cut 7″ vinyl later this year.
