NEW POSTMAN SINGLE!

“Submission Street” was Recorded, Engineered, Produced, and Mixed by
Austin McMaken
Engineer/Producer

Postman says: “I’ve worked with Austin a number of times now. He’s been intelligent, had great production ideas, and actually cared about my music. Afterward, he’s come to my shows, recommended me music I’ve grown to love, and been really cool. He’s a colleague, and a friend. It was also his stroke of genius to bring Rex on to play drums. I would recommend anyone in the local scene to work with him.”

“Submission Street” was Mastered by
Jake Pastor

Postman Says: “Austin suggested we get Jake to master the track, and it was a great idea. I told him I wanted it done lickity split, and he delivered in time to include the single in the Postman Press. Jake also books at Stella’s, and I love that place! I’m gonna buy his beverage next time I see him there.”

FLIPCOIN’S GO TO SPACE: MY FAVORITE LOCAL ALBUM OF 2020 (SO FAR)
Go To Space is a blast. I keep listening to it over and over, having a bunch of fun. It refuses to stick to one genre or style. That’s just fine; they pull off just about everything they attempt, and most people will probably find at least one song they can get down to.
C-LEVEL’S BURN YOUR OWN GASOLINE:
SCORCHING SKANKY BLUES
Dave “Ziggy” Deitke has proven over and over again that he’s one of the best guitarists in town. On Burn Your Own Gasoline, he does so in the highest quality yet, and with the best ear for composition.
