Our Lady Announce “Vessels” 7″

OurLadycover7Today we bring you some very exciting news from Springfield favorites Our Lady. Sometime in the early summer Our Lady will be putting out a brand new 7″ through Mind Over Matter Records! The new 7″ will be called Vessels. You can check out the cover for the 7″, designed by Brian Galecki and Benny Dewitt above. From the label’s website:

Springfield, Il emo-rock quintet Our Lady are gearing up for a big year. Following their 2011 release ‘Scales’, they have put out several short but sweet demos. With each effort they seem to peel back another layer, blending driving and eventful songs with angsty yet articulate lyrics. This time, we have the privilege of helping out an ambitious group with putting out yet another awesome 7 inch release set for summer 2013.

Their new material explores a broad dynamic and emotional range, taking listeners through peaks and valleys carved of delicate verses and hard hitting, overdriven choruses. Presently, they are planning an extensive April tour and working on material for a full length. As Our Lady wrap up their full length and continue to expand their reach, they are sure to have an exciting 2013 and beyond! Keep your eyes peeled for further updates regarding the newest 7 inch as well as tour plans!

We will be sure to keep you updated when an exact date is know for the release of  Vessels 7″, or if any songs are released beforehand.
