Arrive early for Wordburglar’s set!
The release of the Hand’Solo Records mixtape Hokey Religions & Ancient Weapons (are no match for a good blaster) was celebrated with a live show featuring performances by Wordburglar, More Or Les, Noah 23, Baracuda, Royce Birth and Brockway Biggs. Luckily, Alex Stephens was in the house with all of his gear and he has made his audio recording of the show available to us. So, being the kind folks that we are, Hand’Solo Records has decided to take our favourite songs from the show and offer them up as a free download.

It’s been a long wait, but the new album from Calgary, AB duo Lexington + Whatevski, fittingly titled Customer Appreciation Day, is now available through Hand’Solo Records.
For those that still love a physical CD in their hands, a limited edition CD version of Customer Appreciation Day, featuring two bonus tracks exclusive to the hard copy, is now available.
In addition, in order to celebrate the inaugaration of the digital side of Hand’Solo Records in down and dirty style, we are making this first digital release available for free (minus the two bonus tracks, of course).
You can download Customer Appreciation Day from the A/V Club, where you can still find the Hand’Solo Records mixtape Hokey Religions & Ancient Weapons as well as various other musical treasures also available for free download.
Download available from: The Hand’Solo Records A/V Club
