YESTERDAY'S RING album in stores, listen on Punkne

[Guest Admin]

Today, May 12th, Yesterday's Ring's latest album, "Diamonds in the Ditch" is in stores. The CD and digital versions are available now. The vinyl is still a few weeks off (sorry friends).

If this band and this release has not shown up on your radar, it is time that you take a minute and experience their new album. Yesterday's Ring features the members of Fat Wreck recording artist, The Sainte Catherines, and some might call Yesterday's Ring their Americana alter-ego. That in and of itself sells what YR does short. I would not call this Alt-Country, as I think the songwriting was inspired by so many different styles and songwriters. When I listen to the album, I hear Murder City Devils, I hear Rancid, I hear the Sainte Catherines, I hear Two Cow Garage, and sure there are elements inspired by roots music, but calling it Americana doesn't tell the full story.

I can go on and on about how much I love this record, but instead, I will invite you to listen to the album. You can listen to a full album stream on Punknews.org at this link http://www.punknews.org/bands/yesterdaysring . You can also download the mp3 for "Moving (Out to Florida)" here http://suburbanhomerecords.com/mediafiles/yesterdaysring/diamonds/movingouttoflorida_160.mp3 . You an also stop by Yesterday's Ring's myspace page http://www.myspace.com/yesterdaysringmtl to hear a few songs from the record, see their upcoming Canadian dates, and other info about the band.

Here is what Alternative Press had to say (4 out of 5 stars), "Diamonds in the Ditch plays out like a whiskey-soaked screenplay, introducing a character who is getting getting the hell out of his Montreal suburb in "Moving Out (to Florida)". The story unfolds with the simple guitar melodies of sad songs about regret and friends in bad situations before the disc gets to "Moving Back (To Montreal)". When you take the timeless songs about drinking and life on the road and couple them with the banjos and rollicking guitar squalls, it becomes very clear yesterday's Ring haven't become such sad bastards that they'd abandon the punk rock idea completely".

You can purchase the album directly from us here http://stores.channeladvisor.com/vinylhome/Store/Search.aspx?&Page=1&Sort=1&sku=sh121 . You can purchase the album (with a bonus track) on Itunes. You can also purchase from Amazon, Emusic, Interpunk, and your favorite independent retailers. If you go to a mom and pop store and they don't have it, please tell them to pick up a copy.

Later this week, we will be posting our own embeddable streaming player and will ask for your help to help post the player on your Myspace, your blog, and your site. For now, please take a list and consider picking up a copy. Yesterday's Ring, thanks for allowing us to put out this album. We feel so lucky to be able to work with you.
