Today we are bringing you a brand new song by Springfield shock rock band Epsom. The song was released as a Christmas present to Epsom’s fans. From the band’s facebook:

Merry Christmas from Epsom!!! No matter what fabulousness you find under your tree this morning, we’re sure you’ll agree that it can’t hold a candle to the gift of a brand new Epsom studio cut (albeit one with “adult themes” and a few NSFW lyrics). “Animal” has been an audience favorite since the band’s very first show and this version marks the studio debut of the Sgro-Zander-Two-Guitar-Onslaught (patent pending). Download it or stream it here for free – unless you are filled with the spirit of giving, in which case, pay to your heart’s content! And never forget: Epsom loves you – at Christmas and every other god damn day of the year!

The song is called “Animal” and you can stream it on the player below. Head over to Epsom’s bandcamp to download the song at a pay-what-you-want price. Epsom released a 2 song 7″ last year that you will be able to pick up at Dumb Records once we are open in one week.

We have a crazy bunch of shows coming up! January is loaded with action and February is sure to follow suit, so here’s something to look forward to. On February 16th we’re going to host a show dripping with electric excitement. It will feature local wrestle mongers Table Drama, the band known for keeping the grimy gears of hardcore grinding. Then coming from Chicago will be the progressive Carnivores At Grace. They’re sure to give us a raw set, so come out and support them! Local power poppers The Science Of will have then some energetic tunes to make you want to jump around and local punkers The Oswalds are sure to give an exciting set as well, so this show should be rad.

Come at 7:00 pm, pay $5 and check out these bands! Here’s a facebook event for this and make sure to check out all the stuff we have coming up!

Welcome to 2014, year of the spooks. Tonight we’re bringing you an incredibly remarkable show to get things started off RIGHT. The local sewer punkers of Soap Scum are going to play a set so grimy that their songs will stick in your ear drums no matter how much you try to scrub them out. Thank goodness for that. Then the band Falter is coming all the way from Milwaukee, Wisconsin tonight to play some grinding riffs that are sure to rattle your bones harder than the brittle, midwestern winter winds. Local wrestle-heads Table Drama are also playing tonight! They’re sure to grind everyone’s gears- plus- rumor has it they have something new to offer this year, so come find out at tonight’s show. Nos Bos is a slimy punk band that will be slither crawling here all the way from Belleville to grace us with creepy ooze-grind jams. Asthma is a new local band featuring members of Mildred and Looming. Supposedly they’re going to get heated and heavy with some grinding grooves so check out these guys, it’s their FIRST show.

All these sets are going to be great. Come check them out at this show tonight- it’s going to be at 7pm, bring $5 to slam! Also try to support the touring bands with anything you can muster. Travelling in this clean, pure, snowy season can be really hard for slime balls so have a heart! Support the grime. Also make sure to check out other shows we have coming up in this fine, fresh month of January because we have A LOT of things happening this month that you won’t want to miss. Happy New Year!
