Tough Stuff: "College" Debut 7" Due out spring 2013

Secret Pennies & Tough Stuff

by secretpennies

In the year or so that we've been doing Secret Pennies, it hasn't escaped our notice that—with the exception of our own bands—we have yet to do a release with a band from California. Weird, right? Well, I'm excited to announce that the time has finally come, and we couldn't ask for a better band for SPR08 than Garden Grove's Tough Stuff.

These dudes are still in their first year of band-hood (band-ship?), but they've been making the living room and venue rounds around Orange County and LA, not to mention a decent amount of California and West Coast touring. We've had them up here in Santa Barbara several times now, and they've never failed to light up the room with their sheer excitement and determination to have as much fun as humanly possible. As if the shows weren't enough, last summer's beware// EP was killer—a fuzzy burst of lo-fi, high-spirited pop punk energy with enough frenzied riffs and candidly angsty lyrics to make it one of my favorite releases of the year.

So, you know, one thing led to another, and here we are! This January will see Tough Stuff heading into Earth Capital to record with the inimitable Alex Estrada. We'll be releasing "College", their debut 7", in spring of 2013. More news and details to come! In the meantime, go check these guys out and download beware// for free! (Or pick up one of the last cassettes of the run from our distro!)

(And here's a cool video from their most recent trip up here! Check out our good-looking living room.)" TAKEN FROM SECRETPENNIES.COM FUCK YEAH COLLEGE
