Of course, that’s the same thing that we all do whether it's music, film, a joke, or a whole lot of other things that finds our interest.
Literature is a four-member band from Austin, TX that has been around since 2009. Since, they have released two albums and a 7” three-song single. By way of comparison, their music revisits the post-punk pop of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. If you warmly remember that music, then you have a treat awaiting you.
The first album, Hello Berlin, was released in 2009 and has since been sold out. It was followed by the previously mentioned 7” vinyl single (Cincinnati) that contains “It’s Cruel” from the album and adds in “Cincinatti” and “Man Maid Man.”
On December 21, the band released their newest album, Arab Spring. Arab Spring is the result of their fruitful summer recording sessions, and is filled with ten punk-pop gems.
