The Sun
This month, Ohio band, The Sun, has teamed up with Rock Proper to release their second full length album Don’t Let Your Baby Have All the Fun. It was produced by Mike McCarthy (Spoon) and is the first release from The Sun since their 2005 Warner Brothers release.
Brother Truck
We are also incredibly pleased to announce the release of Brother Truck’s second LP, He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother. Recorded by Matt Dewine at Pieholden Suite Sound, these songs rollerskate through Motown, garage, and the early rock’n'roll of the 50s and 60s, the band looks backward with such grace and intelligence, the music feels new. Over thirteen tunes, thick with silky bass-lines and fuzzy guitars, Brother Truck evoke youthful midnights, poodle skirts and technicolor dreams.
Rock Proper Radio
