Tight Bro's From Way Back When are slated to release a new album, Lend You a Hand, on July 31st through Kill Rock Stars. The new album will serve as the follow-up to their KRS debut, Runnin' Thru My Bones, which has been described as "eardrum-shredding rock 'n' blues." Like you needed those silly eardrums. In case you aren't familiar, the tunes are brought to you by singer Jared Warren, who was in Karp, and guitar twins Jon and Dave descended from the band Behead the Prophet.

The Tight Bro's will be playing the Yo-Yo-a-Go-Go Festival (July 17th-20th) at the historic Capitol Theater in downtown Olympia, Washington. Other bands on the bill include Bratmobile, C Average, Gene Defcon, Mirah, the Pattern and about forty other bands. Beck, Modest Mouse, and Sleater-Kinney have headlined previous festivals, so it's obviously very hip. In addition to Yo-Yo-a-Go-Go, the Tight Bro's have announced a West Coast tour:
