More local music is here! This time we are reporting news of a brand new album from Springfield jam band “Solar Chariot.” As far as we know, this is the band’s debut full length album, after they formed a year or so ago, and the album is entitled II. The band has uploaded just the first track up for streaming on bandcamp, and you can check out that track, “Chains” embedded below. If you head over to the band’s bandcamp page you can order a physical copy of the entire CD. We hope to also get them in stock in our store at some point soon.
