theStart offers new record; single stream

(credit)

theStart, one of the culture of me's favorite bands before this here interwebby site was even a twinkle in a younger that dude jeff's eyes, is finally back out in the scene, issuing a new record, their first since 2004's not-so-amazingly received Initiation.

I can't tell you how many spins their first (and major label debut mind you) record, 2001's Shakedown! got on the many destroyed CD decks while that dude jeff attended his junior and senior years at that midwestern college in Peoria, Illinois.  Just google it already.  I'm not giving my whole life away at this point.

Aimee and her gang are back now, with their long-anticipated (at least from this writer's point of view) third full length, entitled Ciao, Baby.  You can also stream their first single off the new effort, "Wartime (It's Time 2 Go Now)", on their MySpace page right at this very moment.
