Springfield musical project Baby Ocho has came forward with a collection of demo recordings during this quarantine a few days ago. The collection is of seven songs under the title Demo EP. You can find that all streaming on the player below. Also head on over to the Baby Ocho bandcamp page where you can download the EP at your own price.

Baby Ocho, which started as the solo project of Mateusz Serafin, played their first show in Springfield as a three-piece full band at one of the last shows we got to have before the shut-down on March 12th. Of course there are no live shows currently lined up.

Here we are once again today bringing you a tiny smidgen of good news amongst these dark and uncertain times for the world. The brand new Bottom Bracket full length album, I Don’t Care Enough To Stay is out and streaming online on a number of platforms. You can stream the eight-track album on the bandcamp player embedded below. Find links to purchase the physical album on vinyl, CD, or cassette on the bandcamp page right here. The album is being released by Rat King Records out of Champaign.

Bottom Bracket originally had their big release show scheduled to happen tomorrow night at our space but that of course has been postponed to a future date to be determined. This one is number twelve for releases we kept track of this year on our Springfield album archive page.

Maybe now with the stay-at-home order we should start expecting to see more music coming especially from all of the solo musical projects of Springfield, such as solo ambient artist Timothy Donavan Russell! Today we bring you a new album from Timothy – this one is two longer tracks, under the release name Rest. You can find that streaming on the player embedded below. This time Timothy actually has some others joining him on this release, from the bandcamp notes:

1) echo – ft Ted Russell on guitar as discovered on the old Starry Eye echoplex (for our collective histories and ancestors)

2) beginning – ft Garrick Veenstra on voice (for Galileo the Cat and all sentient beings)

Head on over to Timothy’s bandcamp page to download the album at your own price. This is Timothy’s first release on his bandcamp so far this year – we’ve also added this one to our Springfield album archive page bringing us to 11 releases we have kept track of this year so far.

Today we bring you the new five-track EP from Springfield local rockers, Blushe. This EP is entitled “MAD” and you can stream it all on the bandcamp player embedded below. Of course tonight is the scheduled release show (CD? cassette? we are not sure) for Blushe, and the show is continuing despite other events getting cancelled all over the city, state, and globe these past few days. Be sure to come out only if you are feeling up for it, and be sure to wash your hands. Head over to the Blushe bandcamp page to download this album at your own price.
